Genius remembered for a second, "Love ♂ ÷ small? Say →', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The Qianqiu Festival in the 29th year of Chengtian, because of the good news from Europe, Africa and the Great Northwest, this time it was more lively than the previous small years. Although the pretense is to congratulate the queen on her fifty-fifth birthday, Li Xiaomei is half a year older than Chen Ming. But in fact, everyone in Nanjing knew that Emperor Chen was happy about the affairs of the court.

First of all, there was great news in Europe, Napoleon sold Louisiana to China for 150 million francs, or 174 million Chinese dollars. This piece of fertile soil, which can be compared to most of the Central Plains, will be China after today. The terrain is flat, the land is fertile, there is plenty of rainfall, and the sun is shining. Most importantly, there aren't too many aliens on it.

This is a gift from God to mankind. Although 150 million francs is a lot of money, it is definitely worth it to win Louisiana.

150 million francs, or 174 million Chinese dollars, is a big, big fortune. Synthetic gold, measured in metric tons, has a gold content of 0.25g, 174 million Chinese dollars, or 43.5 million grams, and 103,500 kilograms, or 43.5 metric tons.

Is that a big number? It's huge. As of 2007, the official gold reserve data of the rabbit was only 600 tons of gold.

Do you think this 43.5 tons is scary?

But this number is so small compared to the vastness of Louisiana's land and its immeasurable strategic significance.

Of course, when Emperor Chen received this number, he was excited and bleeding in his heart. Because he knew that in history, Napoleon only asked for 80 million francs [15 million US dollars] when he sold Louisiana to the lighthouse country, but the price he sold to Chen Han nearly doubled. Moreover, China was required to immediately pay for hard currency of gold and silver, as well as guns, raw silk, medicines, and other goods that he designated as sought-after goods.

Chen Ming was so distressed that he was about to bleed, but he couldn't help himself with joy, because Louisiana was too important and important to Chen Han's strategy for the Americas.

At the same time, the good news is also Denmark, after the conflict between Denmark and the British intensified, the Danish Virgin Islands will be a hot potato for Denmark at the moment. The ETO sent someone to get in touch, and the two sides hit it off. Denmark sold it for 5 million Chinese dollars, and the EEU did not even make a counteroffer.

And there is good news from Africa at this time, the Eastern Cape has been completely taken, and the Sutuo tribe is no longer a threat to Chen Han. This is also great news. Although Chen Ming was not sure when he would unseal South Africa's gold, a mountain of gold had already been tightly held in the palm of his hand.

Finally, there was the war in the Great Northwest. The Seven Khanates pressed Kokand and other Three Khanates to fight.

With the massive military supplies provided by China as a backing, the three countries of Kokand are becoming more and more difficult on the battlefield, although the Russians are also constantly sending materials to the three khanates, but can Russia compare with China? The material transported through the Caspian Sea is only a drop in the bucket for this war.

The three Kokand kingdoms, who were forced to helpless, all wanted to ask for help from the Durrani dynasty in Afghanistan.

But Ahmad Shah, who founded the Dunilan dynasty in Afghanistan, has been dead for thirty years. Afghanistan is no longer the mighty khanate that invaded Delhi, devoured most of Punjab, and defeated the Marathas.

After the death of Hamadshah, his successor, Timur Shah, ascended the throne. At that time, the governor of Kandahar established himself as king with the support of the nobles, and Timur Shah raised an army to fight against him, and successfully quelled the chaos. Timur Shah moved the capital from Kandahar to Kabul. Then as a mediocre ruler, he spent the next twenty years of his uneventful life. Timur died in 1793 and did not do much during his reign. But his death has created a fatal problem for Afghanistan – the question of succession to the throne. He had thirty-six sons and daughters, twenty-three of whom were sons, and plunged the country into a bloody struggle. His fifth son, Zamanshah, succeeded to the throne with the support of the nobility as the new king. Timurshah's eldest son, Humayun, was the first to raise an army, but was soon defeated. Mamoud then rebelled, but was defeated by Zamanshah. Zamanshah's power had been deeply shaken, and he had to consult with the chiefs [nobles] under his rule on matters of state, reusing them as his prime minister, so his rule was not secure. The Mamoud Shah then rebelled again, and Zamansha underestimated the power of the Mamudesah, and he himself eventually fell into the hands of the Mamudesah.

Mamoud Shah became the heart king of Afghanistan in 1800, while Zamansha fled to India with the help of the British. But Mamoudesha's reign was short-lived, and the conflict between church and state in the country eventually led to his ouster. In 1803 Shujasha was put on the throne, but his reign was equally shaky. Under such circumstances, how is it possible for Afghanistan to participate in the struggle in the north?

The Sikhs and Marathas in the south alone are enough for them to be extremely vigilant. The war in Central Asia cannot be turned upside down!

Therefore, today's Chen Ming is a hundred happy and a hundred proud.

Most of his grand cause has been launched, and China's general trend has been achieved, who can stop him in the future?

Therefore, Emperor Chen of today's dynasty is a little extravagant in the palace, giving banquets to the ministers, and even the queen mother has invited out, and called an opera troupe to help the fun.

In the middle of the banquet, Chen Ming took a glass of wine with a spring breeze on his face, and went straight to the table where Li Kun was sitting. ”

"How? I heard that you rolled another 3 million to Lushan? He also built 50 primary schools in western Henan? Is business doing well? "Every year, Li Kun throws a lot of money at the outside world, and at least thirty percent of the good reputation of the queen and Chen Ding is obtained by this.

"Ah, hehe, Your Majesty has won the award, this is what a minister should do. Do you want to repay the society and benefit the people? Li Kun opened his mouth to be a cliché.

"Haha, as long as your Li family can afford it, I will be relieved." Chen Ming was very lenient to Li Kun, turned his head and said to Chen Ding, who was following him, "Toast a toast to your uncle." Your uncle has broken his heart for you all these years. ”

Since Chen Ding's 'gambling' bet was won, Chen Ming's attitude towards him has obviously changed. The person who followed Chen Ming today was Chen Ding, although his other little brothers all went down to toast the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in place of Chen Ming, and it seemed to be more beautiful than him. But if he can stand behind Chen Ming, how can it be comparable to toasting the Manchu courtiers instead of Chen Ming?

Although it is very likely that this face was given to him more because today was his mother's birthday, Chen Ding also saw the jealousy in the eyes of his little brothers who couldn't hide it.

Chen Ming's salute to Li Kun made Li Kun very excited, and tears flowed down his eyes when he drank. There are so many important ministers and nobles present today, he can't count the titles, and he is even more backward in terms of official positions, but the position he sits in is the first echelon, and the only ones who can be with him are King Song, Liu Dezhao, Pang Zhenkun and other meritorious veterans. That's a big face!

Li Kun was so excited that he burst into tears, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

After watching these scenes, the ministers present were also very emotional. Although Li Kunren is a cripple and can't enter the officialdom, the Li consortium he pulled up single-handedly has really earned too much face for King Yu and Queen Yu over the years.

The city of Nanjing is full of leisure and wealth, and the lively celebrations make people forget the war and strife outside.

It is no wonder that more and more Westerners are willing to settle in China in recent years, although they cannot get the Chinese red book, even the yellow book is difficult to obtain, and their movement has been greatly restricted, but there are still more and more Westerners coming to China, and many of them are rich families, or have a skill.

To put it bluntly, it's not a big secret, there is only one reason - China Taiping.

Although China has been fighting wars incessantly over the years, have those wars involved in China's hinterland? Is there one that involves the east seaboard?

No, not at all.

The wars outside have not affected the stability of China's hinterland at all, and the latter is more like not knowing that their country is at war, and the peace makes people think that this is a country without war.

And what about Europe?

War, war, in addition to war, is war. For more than ten years, it has been a non-stop war.

Anglo-French, Franco-Spanish, Franco-Italian, Franco-Pli, Franco-Austrian, Franco-Russian, Anglo-Danish, Russian-Swiss......

From south to north, there is not a place where there is no war. The sound of gunfire and cannons has been over Europe from beginning to end.

Not to mention rich people, but poor people with no money, how many immigrants have been to lighthouse countries over the years?

You know, when the Lighthouse Nation was founded, there were only two million people, but now? Twenty years after the founding of the country, there are already five million people in the Lighthouse Nation.

Although there were many black slaves among them, according to the statistics of the United States itself, there were less than 40,000 black slaves in the northern states, very few; In the southern states, there were more than 850,000 black slaves.

But the number of whites in the United States has literally doubled in two decades. This number is terrifying.

If Lao Mei is allowed to develop like this, it will be great in a few years.

Chen Ming knew that if Napoleon could follow the trajectory of history, at least he would be able to survive for ten years. Today's France controls Italy and Spain, and there are many German city-states, not to mention the size of the population, and the supply of important military equipment is not inferior to the anti-French alliance led by the British.

Such a Napoleon has no possibility of defeat in the short term. Moreover, dozens of tons of gold will be delivered to France next year, and Napoleon will even make up for his biggest shortcomings in the short term.

When the Third Anti-French Coalition is formed, I don't know how many white Europeans will flee to the Americas like crazy in a big war.

Chen Ming felt that Lao Mei could no longer let them feel at ease to accumulate strength.

Today's Lighthouse Nation may have received alarm from Louisiana, and the military strength of the entire country is much higher than in the history of the original plane.

After Chen Ming received the basic information of the Lighthouse Country, he was shocked.

40,000 regular troops, 3,000 cavalry, nearly 100,000 militia from the states, and 37 warships, although the latter were mostly frigates.

Chen Ming couldn't believe his eyes at first. Is the Beacon State, which has just been established for twenty years, so strong?

It was the subsequent piece of information that relieved him.

The soldiers of the Lighthouse Nation are mostly volunteers, and the population is not enthusiastic about the army, and there is an extreme shortage of formally trained officers, so their army units are seriously under-combat. As for the militia, it is difficult to say whether the militia of the Lighthouse State still has the morale and courage that they had when they fought the War of Independence.

Lao Mei has been established for 20 years, and it has also been put into storage for 20 years. Many veterans of that year have entered the twilight of their lives, there is a serious shortage of experienced soldiers and officers, and the output of the West Point Military Academy run by the United States itself is not happy.

Such an army is incapable of combat. It is no wonder that in the Second American-British War, the British who were beaten by the British who were far less powerful than them cried for their fathers and mothers.

"Your Majesty is going to attack the Lighthouse Nation?"

"It's just for you to make a front stop. Let's find out the situation of the other people first......"

Pang Zhenkun said to Chen Liang. Reading, a better reading experience.
