Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 348

Moreover, Louis XIV could not accept these "landless nobles" who lost their territories, and then help them regain their territories...Louis XIV wanted to implement "I am the country", and even the French nobles lost their territories , was turned into a court aristocrat, where can I get land for those "German foreigners"?

James II looked at Hugo Leonard and said with a smile: "Minister of State, why do you think that Spain lacks fertile land? Spain is the country with the largest territory in the world today. Fallen Empire!"

Hugo Leonard frowned: "Your Majesty, you are talking about the Spanish colonial empire...but those lands are not in Europe, but in the New World."

James II shrugged, "Isn't the territory on the New World the most precious wealth of the Kingdom of Spain? If there is no gold, silver, brown sugar, tobacco, textiles and dyes imported from the New World... what else is there in the Kingdom of Spain? The drought there is fast It has caught up with the North African desert, and there are no handicrafts and commerce worth mentioning."

The King of England paused, and put on an envious expression: "As far as I know, the land of New Spain that has been developed so far is only a small part of the whole of New Spain. If the whole of New Spain can be developed, it will be It is a super empire comparable to Ming Dynasty and Great Mongolia! That is the real country of God! Since Leopold I and his nobles cannot gain a foothold in Germany, why not move to Mexico City together, where will be The Habsburg dynasty once again moved towards a glorious starting point.

It is not that there are no whites there. There are already 60 to [-] whites living in New Spain, many of whom are Germans.And there are several times more Indo-European mixed blood.So I believe that Leopold I and his nobles will love Mexico's rich products and vast land. "

The French foreign minister nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with the British king's words. Mexico is indeed a chosen place!If you want gold, you have gold, if you want silver, you have silver, and the land is quite large and fertile, and there are countless islands in the Gulf of Mexico to the east, many of which are rich in cash crops such as spices, dyes, tobacco, sugar... and The geographical location of Mexico is also the best in the New World, and it can directly control the two continents, the north and the south.Once Mexico can develop first, it will be the overlord of the two continents!

After a while of envy, the British king said again: "Your Excellency, Minister of State, if His Majesty Louis XIV can persuade Leopold to move to the New World, our Kingdom of England can provide enough merchant ships and guarantee to send them to the land of the gods." .And I will send at least [-] English army officers and soldiers and a naval fleet to station in the New World. They will fight side by side with the Spanish, French, and Portuguese naval and army officers and soldiers to destroy the business that poses a huge threat to the entire Western civilization. Fang Guo!"

In order for his son "Zhan San" to be able to take the throne, James II really worked hard to seize the commanding heights of political correctness!

After making the promise to send troops to the New World, he felt that it was still unreliable, so he added more, and said to Leonard: "In addition, England will send at least [-] troops to the European continent to accept the command of Emperor Louis. for the war against the Ottoman Turks!"

The conditions offered by James II are too in line with the interests of France and Spain!Because most of the British colonies in the New World are on the east coast, which is very far from the merchant country.Even if the Shangfang Kingdom wants to send troops to the east, without a few decades of eastward expansion, it will not be able to reach the British colonies at all.

And New Spain and New France might be next to Shang Fangguo!

Now James II has sent out ships to help transport people, and sent troops to help kill people, as if he didn't ask for anything in return... What a commendable spirit!

Thinking of this, Leonard nodded heavily: "Alright, King Louis will definitely persuade the princes of North Germany and the King of Poland to accept His Majesty Leopold I's arrangement to leave Germany and go to the New World to serve as Emperor of Spain!"

James II also breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile: "I think His Majesty the Pope will also be happy to see this matter. As long as he can give full play to his influence, the nobles of Spain will definitely welcome Leopold to go to Mexico to become Spain. Emperor's."

The words of the two of them sound a bit strange, as if they forgot to ask Leopold I for permission, but if you think about it carefully, you will take it for granted.

Leopold, who lost most of the Austrian territory and the whole of Bohemia and part of Hungary, actually has no power to maintain the situation in Germany.The reason why he did not completely collapse was only because of the support of the North German princes and the Polish king.

But the princes of North Germany and the Kingdom of Poland have suffered heavy losses in the past three or four years. Of course, they hope that the powerful Louis XIV can enter the market to take over.Now that France and England have entered the field together, they are even more desperate, and they will naturally try to "dissuade" Leopold.

And the Pope of Rome, who is eager to expel the Turks, will definitely stand on the side of France and England.Due to the Pope's influence among the Spanish nobles, and Leopold was originally the first heir to the Spanish foolish king Carlos II.Under the circumstances that Carlos II definitely has no way to obtain descendants, it is also justifiable for Leopold to be the emperor of the entire Spanish Empire and sit in Mexico to resist the powerful merchant country.

In short, everything will be arranged for Leopold I. As long as he nods, he can immediately leave the mess of Germany and go to Mexico to be emperor happily.

……

The Holy Roman Emperor Leopold, who is neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire, has been living in Cologne, the capital of the Bishop of Cologne, since he lost Vienna. With the support of the Kingdom of Spain, he only needs to spend money The German mercenaries that could always be hired and his own military aristocrats, as well as the North German princes and the army of the Polish king Jan Bezoski barely got by.

Although life was difficult, he did not give up hope.Although his IQ is not very high, he can still figure out the huge disparity in strength between the Western Christian countries and the Ottoman Turkish Empire... The Western Christian countries, no matter in terms of population, wealth, military power, industry and agriculture, land, resources, etc., Overwhelmingly superior to the Ottoman Empire.

This is not the middle of the 15th century when Constantinople fell. At that time, the New World had not been discovered, and the countries in Western Europe were getting poorer and poorer.Not only is it poor, but it is also divided. It is a king with "no land and little land" who coaxes a group of princes below who occupy most of the land and population. Facing the aggressive Ottoman Empire, they can't do their best.

If it weren't for God's blessing that the explorers funded by the Spaniards discovered a rich and wild new continent and became rich overnight, the Christian countries in Western Europe would probably have to give the Ottoman Turks a good meal.

But now, under the nourishment of the continuous influx of wealth from the New World, the strength of Western European countries has risen!Among them, the most powerful Kingdom of France had a total army strength of up to 30 during the Franco-Dutch War!

In other words, the strength of Louis XIV alone could drive the Ottoman army away from Vienna... But Leopold just couldn't understand why Louis of France never sent him more than What about the three thousand reinforcements?

He participated in the "printing crusade" last time, but there were more than 1 people out at one time!

So far away in India, he sent so many soldiers to fight, why is he unwilling to rescue the Christian brothers in Germany?Is this Louis a true Christian?

In addition, there are rumors in Cologne that Louis XIV wants to be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire!

This is really ridiculous to the extreme, the full name of Shinra is the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans!How could Louis, a Frenchman, be the emperor of Shinra?

Because of this matter, Leopold I also personally wrote a letter to Pope Alexander VIII, that old fool, asking him to come forward to question Louis XIV... If Louis XIV has no idea about the throne of Shenluo, he will A public statement should be issued to deny it, and then unconditionally send troops to support German Christians.

If Louis really had such an idea, then the Pope of Rome should condemn Louis, and even use the law of breaking the house and excommunication order!

In fact, Louis XIV and his Kingdom of France have maintained friendly relations with the Ottoman Empire for a long time, which has seriously violated the relevant decrees promulgated by the Holy See, and has also caused harm to the countries in Eastern Europe that resisted the Ottoman Empire.They deserve to be punished for their beliefs!

It's a pity that the current Pope of Rome is an old, confused and weak person, and he doesn't even dare to say serious words to Louis... It's really disappointing!

And now, the old, confused and weak Pope has arrived in Liberia with the Marquis of Mendoza of Spain (former Vice-Prince of New Spain), the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, Leona, and King Besowski of Poland. In the castle where Opold lived.

Several distinguished guests are now sitting in the audience hall in the castle, and the Duke of Lorraine and the Archbishop of Cologne accompany Leopold to greet them.

I don’t know if it’s because the Marquis of Mendoza was the vice-king of New Spain. Today, the topics of conversation among the few people are all related to New Spain... and they also said a lot of good things, either the land is fertile and the resources are rich, or Gold and silver are everywhere, and the future is boundless.

It seems that there is no land in Europe that can compare with New Spain!

When Leopold I was wondering, the Marquis of Mendoza, who was dismissed from the position of vice-king of New Spain because of the loss of the Philippine colony, suddenly said to Leopold I: "Your Majesty, the New World is the future... There is plenty of space, plenty of land, and endless gold and silver to mine. Compared with all that the New World has, the Spanish mainland is too barren. If we lose the New World, all It's all over, and not only Spain, but all of Europe will lose its future.

If we valued the riches of New Spain as much as the lands of Europe, we shall have a truly blessed land.Your Majesty, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Spain would like to know, would you wish to become Emperor of the Spanish Colonial Empire before inheriting the throne of the Kingdom of Spain? "

"What? Marquis, what are you talking about?" Emperor Leopold was taken aback and looked at Marquis Mendoza in surprise.

The old, confused and weak Pope of Rome said in a solemn and unquestionable tone at this time: "Leopold, you have lost Austria and Germany, but you have the opportunity to gain old and new Spain. This is God's will, and also Your mission. And only if you leave Germany, this land will be saved by Louis XIV!"

"You want me to leave, but I'm the emperor..."

"My lord, you are still the emperor in New Spain!" the Grand Duke of Lorraine reminded.

"Duke, you too..." Leopold I never expected that the Duke of Lorraine would no longer support him.

"Your Majesty," sighed Besorski, King of Poland, "the German people and the Polish people will be grateful to you... You better get out of here! We all need an emperor who can defeat the Turkish sultan, even if he is French!"

Leopold I now knew that his rule in Germany was over, because even the Polish king did not support him, and without the Polish army, he could not resist the offensive of the Ottoman Empire at all... Now only Louis XIV can come Be the emperor now!

Chapter 818 The Rise of the Sun King, a gift from the Sultan!

London, Hampton Court Palace, Whitehall.

"Your Majesty the Pope, Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the King of France, and Your Royal Highness the Consul of the Netherlands. At this moment of great crisis for Western Christian civilization, we who have become the leaders of the Western world by the grace of God must unite... for God, also for our people. Now, in this world we live in, there have been two anti-Christ powers, one power is the Ottoman Turk Empire that once destroyed Eastern Rome, and now the evil Sultan has brought his aggression to The spearhead is directed at Western Europe, at the homeland of all of us. Vienna, the former stronghold of Christianity, has become like Constantinople, reduced to ruins under the sultan's iron hooves. If we cannot unite, choose who can truly lead to Western Christianity Warriors go and take back the Emperor of Vienna, and we shall lose our homes, our faith, and even our souls!

And another anti-Christ force is the more evil Shangfang Kingdom... Their ancestors once ruled China, because of their evil anti-Christ behavior, they were abandoned by God and hated by the people they ruled. In the wave of revolution, he fled to the west coast of North America.For the next 600 years, this evil anti-Christ country hid on the west coast of the New World, enslaved the Indians there, and taught the evil human sacrifices and various tortures to the Aztecs and Indians. family!All kinds of evidence show that they are the root of ignorance, backwardness and evil in the New World!They are the enemies of all mankind, they are the Anti-Christ..."

The convener of the London Conference, King James II of England, Scotland and Ireland, was giving an impassioned speech in the White Hall, which was arranged as a conference hall.

When the Holy Roman Empire was crippled and the colonies of the Kingdom of Spain were seriously threatened by the Ming Empire and the Shang Fang Kingdom, the voice of King Louis XIV in Western Europe increased dramatically.With the support of Louis XIV, James II, who was originally very weak in the country, has now turned into one of the leaders of European Christian civilization, and his prestige has naturally increased.

Moreover, in the face of the threat of Louis XIV, who held high the banner of defending Christ and Western civilization, even William III, the consul of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, dared not collude with the Protestant nobles in England to create the father-in-law. On the other hand...it's not a joke to label people as the public enemy of the Christian world!

However, at today's Whitehall meeting, some people dared to sing against King James II, and the opposition was still sung in Chinese, which James II could not understand.

"Second Master Zhan, do you always miss someone?"

James II looked up, only to see an oriental man wearing a plume and a beaded robe standing up from the other end of a fifty-foot-long conference table.

"Your Majesty, he is Tong Jia Guowei, the new ambassador of the Great Mongol Kingdom to Western Europe. You can call him Master Tong." The person who acted as an advisor on Eastern issues and a Chinese translator for James II in the Whitehall was a student from Cambridge University. Ji Dabao, a professor of oriental studies, saw Tong Guowei get up and speak, and immediately went to the king's side and began to perform his duties.

"Oh, what did he say?" James II asked again.

"He hopes to list the Ming Empire as one of the major threats to the civilized world." Ji Dabao directly said what Tong Guowei wanted to say but hadn't said yet.

"Ah, I understand, but Daming is really too powerful!" James II said, "Please tell him that the biggest threat should be dealt with at the end... After we have dealt with the two enemies, the merchants and Turkey, we can consider dealing with them." The most dangerous enemy."

Ji Dabao said to Tong Guowei: "Master Tong, Mr. Zhan said that Daming is too strong and he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat him, so he picks the soft persimmons... How about picking a soft persimmon for you, Great Mongolia?"

Tong Guowei smiled and said: "Okay! But Shang Fang is too far away, so I won't pinch it in Great Mongolia... How about this, our Great Mongolia will fight that Ottoman together with Luocha Kingdom, Poland Kingdom, Holy Roman Kingdom, and France Kingdom Empire."

The plan proposed by Tong Guowei is actually the national policy of Kangxi Khan. It is not that Kangxi Khan must have trouble with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but this Khan who opened his eyes and ventured into the world knows that his Great Mongolia must make friends, especially with the Ottoman Empire. Western powers became friends.Only in this way can his Great Mongolia win a sufficiently stable external environment.

Only when the outside is stable can he concentrate on the inside, and it will take two to thirty years, or even longer, to build his great Mongolia into a whole little by little.

As long as the Great Mongol Kingdom is unified, he will be able to become a great emperor on an equal footing with Ming Emperor Zhu Heqi!

In order to make friends with the Western powers, the Mongolian Kingdom must have a common enemy with the Western powers.

This enemy had better not be Da Ming - Da Ming is too powerful!

Moreover, the Western powers have temporarily recognized the sovereignty of the Ming Empire in the east of the Strait of Malacca (including the Strait of Malacca). Obviously, Western countries do not intend to immediately target the powerful Ming Dynasty.

And the Ottoman Turkish Empire is a very ideal enemy... This country is a bit strong on the outside, relying on the sugar pills, rockets, and hot air balloons given by Daming to suddenly exert force, and beat up Shinra, who is also strong on the outside, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and turned himself into a Enemy of the West.

In addition, the Raksha State, a staunch ally of the Great Mongol Kingdom, is also staring at the Crimea Khanate, a vassal state of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, with red eyes, and even dreams of regaining Constantinople, the former capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.

As long as Great Mongolia joins the camp against the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the alliance between Great Mongolia and Rakshasa will be unbreakable.And the French Empire, which incorporated the remaining territory of the Holy Roman Empire, also maintained an unbreakable alliance with the Great Mongolia because it wanted to seize Vienna and the Balkan Peninsula.

In this way, the Great Mongol Kingdom can form a group with Rakshasa and France to form a solid Triple Alliance... As long as the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not finished, the Triple Alliance can exist.

As long as the Triple Alliance exists, the Great Mongolia will not have to worry about threats from the Indian Ocean and Northwest Central Asia.

As for the Ottoman Turkish Empire...it is impossible to cross the Caspian Sea, Persia and the Indian Ocean to attack the Great Mongolia.

Ji Dabao said loudly in Latin: "The ambassador of Great Mongolia proposed to join the alliance aimed at opposing the Ottoman Turkish Empire! Great Mongolia hopes to stand with the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Rakshasa, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Holy Roman Empire!" "

As soon as he finished speaking, King Louis XIV of France stepped on his high heels and stood up, then slapped hard.

It is obviously in the interest of Louis XIV to form an anti-Turkish alliance with the Great Mongol Kingdom and the Raksha Kingdom-he has now reached a secret agreement with the Spanish Kingdom’s Parliament, the Pope of Rome, and Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. The Spanish Parliament and the Pope jointly came forward to establish a Spanish Empire, and invited Leopold I to be the emperor of the Spanish Empire!And Leopold and his son will also receive the right of succession to the Spanish king. They will inherit the Spanish throne after the death of the current fool king Carlos II.

Of course, the Spanish Parliament and the Pope will also ask Leopold I to give up the throne of the Holy Roman Empire and all territories (claimed territories) in the Holy Roman Empire, and transfer them to King Louis XIV of France.

In the future, Louis XIV will take on the important task of recovering Vienna and the land of the Balkan Peninsula, and become the leader of the alliance against the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

At the same time, Louis XIV will form the Atlantic Alliance with Leopold I, James II, King Pedro of Portugal, and the Pope of Rome to jointly oppose the mysterious and evil merchant country!

By virtue of becoming the leader of the Atlantic Alliance and the Anti-Turkish Alliance at the same time, Louis XIV became the Sun King of the entire Western Christian world!

Seeing the Sun King standing up and applauding, none of the Pope, Emperor, King, Grand Duke, Bishop, and ministers in the Whitehall dared to sit still. They all stood up and clapped together with the Sun King.

In the Whitehall, thunderous applause erupted immediately.

Louis XIV was quite satisfied seeing this scene in front of him... He had always thought that his destiny was to become the Sun King of all Europe, not just the Sun King of France!

And now, his new era seems to have arrived!

……

Ottoman Empire, City of Vienna.

The former capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the home of the Habsburg family for hundreds of years, a Catholic fortress standing in central Europe, has now become the "Sultan City" of the Ottoman Empire. The green holy flag is in Hofburg Flying above the imperial palace, the magnificent Catholic church has now become the temple of the true god, and the Germans living here either fled, died in battle, or became slaves of the conqueror.

By the way, this city has now become the largest slave trading market in central Europe... The soldiers of the Ottoman Empire still occupy the advantage of the battlefield in Central Europe. They use Vienna as their stronghold and frequently attack the land of the Germans and Western Slavs , Repeatedly succeeded, the population was plundered and slaughtered, towns and villages were destroyed, the land was barren, and even the nobles who stayed in the castle could not escape the sultan's whip of God.In just a few years, the losses suffered by the Germans and West Slavs around the city of Vienna have exceeded the disasters caused by the Thirty Years War.

Now, they finally know what the Eastern Romans experienced in the decades before and after the fall of Constantinople?

Huang Zhisheng, who has experienced the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, is of course very sympathetic to the sufferings of the people around the city of Vienna... In order to save the beautiful blonde girls who were bullied by the murderous Turkish warriors, From time to time, he would come to the "talent market" in Vienna to have a look.

When the London meeting was held, Huang Dashan came to Vienna again.His "long mission" in Europe was finally over, and it was time to go back to Daming to report to the Emperor that the new era had arrived.

Although Huang Zhisheng did not go to the London meeting, through the news network of the Dutch East India Company, he still knew very clearly that Western Europe would unite under the banner of the Sun King Louis XIV...he would be elected as the leader of the Frankish Holy Roman Empire. the emperor!Shinra is still Shinra, but it has changed from German Shinra to Frankish Shinra.This means that France and Germany will merge into one to a certain extent!

In Huang Zhisheng's view, even if Louis XIV, who ruled the Frankish Shenluo, could not quickly regain Vienna, he would soon complete the integration of most parts of Germany-with the negative teaching material of Vienna, where are the princes of the German states? Dare to oppose the Sun King?

And once the Sun King integrates France and Germany, he will become the real sun of Western Europe... At least 500 million Europeans will live under the light of Louis!

Of course, Louis is definitely not the only sun in Europe.Mehmed IV, who conquered Vienna in a hot air balloon, was also a sun...just a little strong on the outside, but you can't tell from the radiant appearance.After conquering Vienna, the Ottoman Empire, which had been declining in the west, rose up at once. Many Tianfang believers in Europe, West Asia, North Africa, and even Central Asia joined him, and the Ottoman Empire became stronger and stronger at once.

In addition to the two suns in Europe, there are also two suns in what Europeans call Asia. Of course, they are Kangxi Khan who went to the Western Regions and India and the Grand Duke and Emperor who dominates East Asia.

If there is no new sun in the future, then the future world will probably be the world of the four great powers of Ming, Mongol, Frank, and Ottoman...

"Clap clap clap..."

Three crisp applause interrupted Huang Dashan, who was thinking about the future world structure. He hurriedly turned his head and found that the person clapping his hands was the chubby Mehmet IV... This guy was already fat, and he conquered Vienna Afterwards, I felt better, my appetite increased, and I became fatter.

The relationship between Huang Zhisheng and this fat man is very good. Back then, Huang Dashan sent sugar medicine, rockets, and hot air balloons to Muhammad... With these good things, Muhammad's army was still fighting very hard in the city of Vienna. Not light either.Without those, it's sure to beat.

Muhammad IV knew that if he had suffered a disastrous defeat in Vienna, he would probably have gone to see the true God by now, so how could he live such a happy life?

And this fat sultan has no other advantages, that is, he knows how to repay his kindness, so today he hosted a banquet in the Hofburg Palace to entertain Huang Zhisheng who passed by, and also prepared a generous gift for Huang Zhisheng's immediate boss, Emperor Zhu.

Seeing Huang Zhisheng looking back at his face, Muhammad laughed, raised his hand and pointed forward, and said in Turkish: "Ambassador Huang, look there. That is a gift I prepared for the Ming Emperor. Her name is Na Tali was sent to Vienna by the Crimean Khan..."

Chapter 819 You Europeans go to war, we are responsible for selling arms!

"Natalie? It was sent by the Khan of Crimea..."

Of course Huang Zhisheng knew what the main business of the Crimean Khanate was?These descendants of Genghis Khan are the largest "horse dealers" in Europe...and what they sell is high-end goods, not the kind of African "dark horses" that can only be used as coolies, but "golden haired tender horses" from Southern Rakshasa and Ukraine , all of them are fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged, and their figures are particularly enchanting!

And this "horse" is the "tender horse" sent to the Sultan's court in Vienna by the Crimean Khan...it must be "the best horse"!

Thinking of this, Ambassador Huang quickly took a deep breath, straightened his face, raised his eyes to look at the entrance of the banquet hall of the Hofburg Palace, and was surprised.Because what he saw was a tall and plump female warrior. From a distance, he knew that she had a perfect figure that was enough to fascinate people. Out of a full and round curve.The lower edge of the leather armor ended at the waist, and underneath was a white and tight waist.

This female warrior has blond hair that undulates like waves, deep-set eye sockets, gorgeous facial features that seem to be carved out of ice and snow, and her red lips are tightly pursed, showing a determined expression.

The female warrior did not walk into the banquet hall of the palace alone. Behind her were two Sudanese Guardsmen wearing large turbans, both holding the handle of the scimitar with one hand, watching the female warrior's back vigilantly. , as if ready to draw a knife to kill it at any time!

Seeing this scene, Huang Zhisheng was still a little confused, what does this mean?Who is this female warrior?It looks fierce!Can it really be sent to the court of the Ming emperor?Won't there be an assassin king to kill him?

When he was in a daze, the female warrior had already bowed to Huang Zhisheng, and spoke in a bit hard Chinese: "Master Huang, Natalie from Raksha Prairie wishes you good health."

Huang Zhisheng looked back at the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and asked, "Your Majesty the Sultan, is she..."

Fat Sudan replied with a smile: "She is a Cossack female swordsman in the Rakshasa Grassland named Natalie. She is only 20 years old this year and was captured in a battle with the Crimean Khanate army last year... for Caught, the Crimean Khan lost two of his best fighters. The Crimean Khan wanted to execute her to avenge his warriors, but he was moved by her beauty and wanted to marry her as his fourth A wife. But she said she belonged only to the greatest warriors, so the Crimean Khan sent her to Vienna."

"But you are not the greatest warrior," the Cossack female swordsman named Natalie raised her delicate face and interjected in fluent Turkish, "You don't even dare to compete with me in swordsmanship."
