Politics really can't look at the appearance, tens of thousands of people are pulled out with great momentum, and they are about to start fighting in full armor, in China, if the capital dares to rebel, it will be slaughtered a long time ago, but here in France, in the end, the war ended with a peace treaty.

On October 11, 1656, the tumultuous rebellion of the Frondes finally ended with the peace between the court minister Mazarin and the robed nobles of the national court and the sword-wielding nobles who controlled the army. However, the occurrence of this rebellion has pushed the entire European continent to twist a rope.

First of all, France, even if it is peaceful, the king's autocracy and aristocratic rights have reached a point where they are incompatible, the simplest means of an old politician is to transfer the domestic contradictions of foreign wars, before hesitating the royal family's profligacy, the finances are not enough to support a big war, but now, the Dutch took the lead in providing interest-free loans for the French government, and the Italian bankers looked at the hot eyes, and immediately approved the loans, and the children of the nobles were recruited into the army, ready to obtain new rights and fiefs in the land of the British, This French war machine is ready.

On the other hand, Spain was originally an enemy with Britain, and the allies of the Ming Dynasty could also satisfy the domestic desire for war, and after the partition of the British Caribbean colonies, Spain could also start a new triangular trade, Lisbon, the Black Coast of Africa, and the Caribbean, to supplement the gap in eastern trade, and pave the way for the future war against the Ming Dynasty, so the Duke of Palamisson did not refuse.

As for the more than 30,000 troops gathered by the Holy Roman Empire, they also did not leave, the troops were all assembled, but the battle was not fought, this military expenditure was equal to a waste of money, how could the feudal lords admit losses so easily? happened to be a mercenary, and joined the ranks of the British conquest, eating the French military salary, while waiting to go to England to plunder and get a vote.

Old Curt's political vision is really precise and ruthless, France is enough to turn the whole situation around, seeing that the largest countries, political associations have joined this war, Norway and Sweden in the direction of Northern Europe will simply join in, join in the fun, and follow the crowd can also make some benefits, as for fighting the same Protestant countries? It doesn't matter now, whoever made you commit the crime of slaughtering the king, a sentence of maintaining the feudal order is enough to be a pretext for war.

The peace conference was held in Paris, France, on a large round table, covered with the agreement prepared by the pope as a notary, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, the representatives of the magnates of each country went around the circle to sign the names on the documents in turn, followed by the French robed nobleman Becluson, and signed the name heavily, Curt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his old face finally glowed with some glory.

The Netherlands went to great lengths to promote the Grand Alliance, is it really so hateful to the Ming Dynasty? No, the old Curt is also helpless, the Netherlands in order to protect itself!

The largest and most profitable colony in the East is lost, and the huge main fleet is also in ashes, if countries such as France and Spain do not make peace with the Ming Dynasty and do not go to war with Britain, who will be their next soft persimmon to annex?

After facilitating the crusade against Britain, the war objectives were shifted, and the Dutch could get a part of the spoils from the British land to make up for the losses, and after defeating the British, the strategic goal of the balance of power between the East and the West could be achieved, in the east, Spain held the Strait of Hormuz in the Red Sea and the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, enough to resist the Ming in the east of Africa, the West, the Arctic Circle to the north, and the French colonies in western Canada, the Ming Dynasty could not get around, and Mexico and South America were Spanish colonies, The Daming fleet, which lacked docking supplies, could not get around, and the world was perfectly divided into two pieces.

After all, war cannot be the norm, which greedy Mao monarch in the east is also eager for European trade, as long as the Ming Dynasty is forced to the negotiating table, as a sea coachman, the Netherlands, which has nearly 15,000 merchant ships of all sizes, still has a chance to rise!

On the first day of November, the famous Treaty of Paris was signed, and twenty-six large and small countries and Dominions entered the war, and the Pope brought the agreement back to Rome. Then came the real thing, and before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, the whole of Western Europe was transformed into a huge arsenal, and began to build warships and weapons for the first time in history of the great European coalition.

The outpost of the attack on the British Peninsula was set up in the small town of Brun, France, on the one hand, this is the closest point between France and England, on the other hand, it was from here that Caesar of Rome set out to conquer Celtic England at that time, and more than 100,000 shipwrights and laborers from Spain, Holland, Italy and France came to this cold land in the cold winter.

Hundreds of miles away, the trees of the Alps were cut down one by one, transported here, an incomparably magnificent transport line stretched out on the earth, in the cold and freezing, the requisitioned French peasants gritted their teeth and picked up hoes, digging the lock harbor in the hard ground, and in the embrace of the mountains on three sides of Buren, the incomparably huge lock anchorage slowly revealed its outline.

Thousands of kilometers away, Italy.

Since the fall of the Roman Empire, this land, which has never risen again, has also been busy, from the Hannonsen alliance of Central Europe and Germany, steel and coal are constantly transported here, the armor workshops in Milan, and the artillery workshops in Genoa are all running at full capacity, and the apprentices of craftsmen are constantly burning boilers.

Under the guidance of the master of the years, the apprentices hung the iron furnace and watered it one by one, and then after three or four days of cooling and waiting, these cast iron cannon molds were knocked open, and several tons of solid cannons were inserted vertically into the card slot of the riverside workshop, and the drill bits connected to the huge waterwheel began to buzz at the core of the gun.

In the warehouse of the musket workshop, boxes of newly made muskets were called oil and wrapped in straw, and their firing device was changed from the fire rope to the flint machine, and the muzzle of the musket also had two slightly flattened card slots, and the gun was not tied with a rope with two more sleeve bayonets.

Just when the whole of Western Europe was grinding its fists for war, the Ming Dynasty seemed to be lagging behind in the relay race in the New World.

When Li Dingguo arrived in North America, it happened to be the spring just after Mao Xingjian's Knee Valley War, which changed his life and destiny.

After a cold winter of bloody and cruel tempering, the colony here of the Ming Dynasty was not wiped out by the cold, but also like spring flowers, became thriving, the biggest change is the sea of gems in Seattle in the later generations, now this can be renamed from the town to the city, almost most of the original dilapidated wooden houses were demolished, and the steel bars imported from the northern Mabao were accompanied by the volcanic ash cement of Mount Rainier, Mao Xingjian also began to walk the old road of Mao Jue, build a port, and do business.

However, the Confucian empire he had conceived collapsed, and the Ming regime in the New World became oppressive.

In three months, most of the port has been completed, standing on the bow of the ship, Li Shuai's telescope looks, a three-story small buildings of cement gray primary color are lined up one after another, neatly arranged like a chessboard on the market, although there is no Hangzhou City's colorful floor decoration, but compared to the barrenness he imagined before he came, it is much better.

There is a warm house to live, always can make the wandering visitors feel at ease, sat on the boat for six months, more than 30,000 immigrants were finally able to step on the land that will not shake, get off the boat to stretch out, many generals of the Great Western Army and the generals of the old army are still old acquaintances, greet each other and actually recognize each other, hook shoulders and back have gone down the restaurant, just immigrated over, and the Hakka brothers of Liangguang who are still shy in the bag are lining up to receive the special fish and vegetable porridge of the gem sea.

After handing over to the officials of the port, and still with the ambition of making meritorious contributions in his heart, Li Dingguo rushed to the Governor's Mansion in Haicheng with gifts for the first time, but unfortunately he was in vain here, and the two giants of the New World were not here!

"Governor Adriana led the fleet south to set up an anchorage, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Liu Zongmin crossed the Luoji Mountain and went to the Missouri Plains to hunt, but counting the days, there should be four or five days to come back, and I also asked Marquis Li to spend a few days in the Jewel Sea."

Now he doesn't even know where his fiefdom Haitianzhou is, and the fleet has to hand over to Mao Xingjian, so he can't leave for the time being, and when he leaves the governor's mansion, Li Dingguo also turned around and entered a tavern not far away.

It has the feeling of a western restaurant in an American western, with dried fish and air-dried venison hanging on the wall, a dozen small round tables inside, and the soldiers on leave are drinking wine and playing cards relaxedly, there is no atmosphere of war at all, and there is a round counter in the innermost, and the chubby boss is smiling and mixing wine there.

"Welcome, what do you want? Beer, tequila? Or rum? ”

There is no one Li Dingguo knows about the wine, and when he looks back, a large group of ruffians are full of amber very thick and deep liquor in their cups, and Li Dingguo, who is not bad for money anyway, simply waved his hand: "One bottle each!" Copy two more side dishes! ”

In less than half a minute, on Li Dingguo's table, the wine and food were ready, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of small grilled fish, looking at a bearded soldier on the side and simmering half a cup, Li Dingguo also picked up the wine bottle in the middle of the three bottles with big leaves painted and a lot of foreign texts, and took a small half bottle in a gulp.

However, in just a moment, the face of this famous battlefield general, who began to fight in China at the age of thirteen, suddenly rose like a monkey's buttocks, and squirted out in one gulp, compared to the soft Sichuan sauce wine, these gringo wines are really too strong.

Seeing his embarrassed cough, a group of ruffians who didn't know Taishan suddenly laughed, and the nearest guys even waved their little fingers at Li Dingguo.

But just when Li Dingguo was angry and filled himself with a big cup, another troublesome thing that was about to give him a special headache also happened quietly, squeezing out of the crowd of people queuing up to receive porridge, the little boy in a silk robe was looking left and right on the street excitedly, and when he looked up, a pair of beautiful eyes fell on the back of the sea of jewels, on the towering and majestic mountains around the coast, and the delicate lips like a woman opened lightly with interest.

"This is the prince's old land! Not much! Much worse than Hangzhou! But the view is good! ”

"Princess, let's hurry up and find the prince! It's been six months since we ran out, and Your Majesty and Niangniang should be mad! ”

"I'm going crazy anyway, so why don't you have more fun?"

Seeing the little maid beside her who was about to cry, Miss Yu'er grabbed her little hand briskly and trotted with great interest.

"Let's go, let's go to that store first!"
