At the Palace of Versailles, Peter sat at the front in his trademark lilac clerical robe, and in front of Peter was the French Foreign Secretary, Mo Dulin.

It is now April 1786, and today is the date of the signing of the Franco-Vietnamese Treaty of Versailles, which was signed more than eight months earlier than in history due to the instigation of Ye Kai's butterfly wings.

The historical Franco-Vietnamese Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1787, when the revolutionary trend in France was already on the verge of breaking out, so the French government did not fulfill this treaty, and finally Peter scattered his family property and recruited more than 600 soldiers and more than 20 instructors in France to Vietnam.

The terms of the entire treaty are roughly as follows:

1. France supported Nguyen Phuc Anh with four warships, 1,000 infantry, 200 artillery, 250 black mercenaries, and provided sufficient ammunition.

2. Nguyen Phuc Anh ceded the ports of An'an and Tuo Yen to Da Nang to France.

3. Nguyen Phuc Anh guaranteed France's trade privileges in Vietnam and was not allowed to trade with other European countries.

4. When France needed military supplies in the East, Nguyen Phuc Anh had to come to the rescue.

5. After Nguyen Phuc Anh was restored, from the second year of his restoration, he built a warship that was the same as the aid warship and returned it to the French every year.

6. The French government contributed 900,000 livres for the recruitment of soldiers, the purchase of warships and ammunition, and Nguyen Phuc Anh had to repay the 900,000 livres at an annual interest rate of 5 percent.

See? This is still the result of Ye Kai's best efforts to mediate, this is not just an unequal treaty, but an extremely unequal treaty!

For example, the warship supported by the French has to be returned, but this warship is actually not supported at all, it is included in the cost of 900,000 lifoles, Ruan Phuc Anh not only has to return the warship, but also has to pay back, which is equivalent to a warship receiving money twice!

Moreover, Nguyen Phuc Anh still has to cede Hoi An, Da Nang and other places, and he has to act as a thug for the French in Nanyang, and he has to open the country to the French!

Therefore, it is a ghost to say that Nguyen Phuc Anh in history is not bad at all, and this treaty did not regard him as a king of the East at all, but as an indigenous chief under the protection of the French.

What's even more terrible is that they did not fulfill the treaty that took a big advantage for France, and in the end, it was Peter who raised a lot of money and reluctantly brought back an army, which had nothing to do with the French government!

Moreover, these people recruited by Peter were detained by the governor of India when they went to the local administration of India, and finally reached Vietnam after a difficult journey.

You think that's the end of it?

No?

The shamelessness of the French demands more from you than you can imagine!

After Nguyen Phuc Anh successfully restored the country with the crooked melons and cracked dates brought back by Peter, the French, who had recovered from the Great Revolution, ran to Hanoi, and they also claimed that the Nguyen Dynasty would fulfill the Franco-Vietnamese Treaty of Versailles

Shameless enough, right?

At this time, both Peter and Nguyen Phuc Anh were dead, and it was Nguyen Phuc Anh's son, Emperor Nguyen Phuc Anh, who was in charge.

Ruan Phuc Dang was insulted and almost went crazy, you Mao didn't support it, and you still want us to fulfill the treaty? Immediately drove the French envoys out!

The rejected French did not stop doing anything, and they directly launched two Franco-Vietnamese wars to destroy the Nguyen Dynasty.

…

So don't overestimate the moral character of the European whiteskins, in terms of shamelessness, they are not inferior to the old men in the Forbidden City.

No!

The big supplement for the elderly has a little bottom line than them.

But now it's different, because of the appearance of Ye Kai, the date of signing has also been advanced by more than half a year, and the French government has been able to squeeze out 900,000 lifoles from the tight finances, so these aids should be able to be implemented, which can be regarded as a small progress!

Moreover, Ye Kai also took it upon himself to help Ruan Fuying borrow 900,000 miles of usury, which made him even more financially rich, in addition to the 1,000 soldiers promised by the French government, he also recruited an additional 400 soldiers.

Coupled with the 800 soldiers recruited by Ye Kai himself in France, the entire number of French soldiers and foreign mercenaries brought over by Ruan Phuc Ying was as high as 2,450.

Plus a third-class battleship, a fourth-class battleship, and two fifth-class battleships, this is almost half the strength of the British army during the First Opium War!

"His Royal Highness Prince Fukukei! I hope that the friendship between France and Vietnam will last forever, just like the friendship between you and Dauphin Louis! ”

After the main lord Nguyen Phuc Kyong signed the treaty with a brush crookedly, the scene resounded with cheerful applause, and the French Foreign Minister Mo Dulin stretched out his hand to Nguyen Phuc Kyong with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and thank you even more, His Majesty the Great King Louis XVI, and I also wish the friendship between France and Vietnam to last forever, and I hope that the glory of the Lord will shine on the East!"

Seven-year-old Nguyen Phuc Kyh can speak fluent French and is more calm, this prince, who has been displaced since birth, always seems to be much more mature than others.

Ye Kai shook his head gently, and the Confucian officials such as Guangnan Guobeishu who followed Ruan Fujing from Nanyang also shook their heads gently.

From the time he was born, Nguyen Phuc King had the most contact with churches and missionaries, and from the age of three, his education was presided over by Peter himself.

After arriving in France, he studied with Dauphin Louis, a country with a very strong Catholic atmosphere, and Nguyen Phuc Kyung was inevitably greatly affected.

Although Peter was afraid of Ruan Phuc Ying's attitude, even if Ruan Phuc King asked for it in every possible way, he did not help him be baptized, but Ruan Phuc King has become a Western Catholic style from the inside out, from the body to the spirit.

So although he has a special affection for Ye Kai, this affection still ranks behind Catholicism, and Ye Kai didn't want to correct Ruan Fujing.

If this was his son, even if he used the sword Ye Kai, he would have to twist him over, but Ruan Phuc Ying's son, Ye Kai didn't care!

In the future, there will be a fierce conflict between Ruan Phuc Anh and Ruan Phuc King because of their attitude towards Catholicism, and this conflict within the Ruan family is also beneficial to Ye Kai.

So he basically watched Ruan Phuc King constantly fall into the Catholic culture, and he didn't stretch out his hand at all, his heart became colder and harder.

Even Louis XVI and the Bishop of Paris, Royce, personally walked in front of Nguyen Phuc Khanh, a prince of the East who deeply believed in Catholicism, would be the biggest help for France to control the East and spread Catholicism.

…

"My child, it will be as you wish, for the mighty kingdom of France and the holy lord are on your side!"

Louis XVI took Nguyen Phuc Kyong's hand and shouted loudly to the crowd, and Nguyen Phuc Kyong's eyes also shone brightly.

"Ye Shuwu! How did this child believe in the teachings of Westerners? Isn't that inappropriate? ”

The only one who can call Ye Kai Ye Shuwu is He Yu'er, this woman's belly has protruded, and she will give birth in four or five months.

She will stay in France and wait for the more than 80 Ye family children to finish their studies before returning to Nanyang.

Ye Kai's request to these children is to try their best to learn advanced knowledge in Europe, and the second batch of children of the Ye family of more than 100 people should also be on the way.

Ye Kai didn't think that these Ye family children would return to Nanyang in a short time, except for a small part of them to learn military technology, a large part of them came to learn scientific and technological knowledge, especially the way Westerners use physics and chemistry to understand the world.

Ye Kai hoped that they would play a role in the process of repelling the Manchus in the north and bringing China into modernization, rather than in the South Seas.

"Tomorrow you gather all the children in Paris, and I have something to say to you!" Ye Kai shook his head at He Yu'er, signaling that this was not the place to speak!
