Chapter 418: Chaos
"Your Majesty, there is a truce in Europe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yang Zhong lowered his head and said to His Majesty the Emperor.
Yang Feng waved his hand and continued to enjoy the singing and dancing performance in front of him.
He had just arrived at Patna, and it took him three full months to walk here from Mursidabad, and in three months he had caused so much harm along the way that he could say that chickens and dogs jumped, and more than fifty temples with the bearded Mu alone were demolished, during which there were more than a dozen clashes of varying scales between the Ming army and the believers, and he himself took action three times, and the temple elders and unyielding believers who died in the hands of him and the Ming army alone had to be nearly 3,000 people.
Just two hours ago, he had smashed a temple in Patna, and now the Ming army was cleaning up the remaining temples of Mu Dabeard in the city.
But even so, Governor Said still did everything in his power to serve this foreign emperor, knowing that he liked beautiful women, and even searched everything he could under his rule, and it is said that he even contributed his own daughter to serve His Majesty. Of course, at this time, he had no room to resist, and in three months, with the arrival of the Ming army in batches, the city had completely turned into a fortress of the Ming army, and even the headquarters of the Second Army was moved here from Kushtia. There is a whole army and a fleet of the Ming army stationed near this small city, such a powerful force is enough to sweep the whole of India, and it is just a word to kill Yang Feng if he is not happy. What's more, after the precedent of Bengal, all the governors of the Mughal Empire are now full of reverence when they look at Emperor Yang, and it has become the consensus of all the governors to serve him happily, and his little willfulness in this case is really not worth mentioning.
"Your Excellency the Governor, it's hard to imagine how you've survived all these years?"
Looking at the song and dance performance, or at those beautiful women who were chosen by thousands of choices, Emperor Yang yawned and said to Governor Said very speechlessly.
"Huh?"
Said was stunned.
But soon he understood that this was His Majesty the Emperor's serious dissatisfaction with his work, or with these beauties, including his daughter, he quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said in a very panicked manner according to the guidance of a specially appointed etiquette consultant: "Your Majesty, it is all the foreign ministers who are not doing their jobs well, and you also know that our women here have darker complexions, and the gap is too big compared to the beauties of the country, and please give a few days of grace, the foreign ministers have bought a batch of maiko for you in Persia, and it is estimated that they will be delivered in a few days." ”
"Or do you have filial piety, reward!"
Yang Feng reclined on the throne and beckoned to Yang Zhong with satisfaction.
That posture looks like Concubine Yi.
The latter hurriedly stepped forward and handed Saeed a prepared contract with a smile, Saeed only glanced at it, and immediately kowtowed excitedly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, may your light shine on the world like the sun and the moon." ”
Well, that's an arms contract.
Rifled guns.
"Get up, I have always been generous to those who have filial piety, do things well, don't live up to my expectations, and these maiko are also the heart of His Excellency the Governor, just accept them all, just before I came, the queen said that there were too few maids in the palace!"
Yang Feng said.
A maid immediately stepped forward and took those maiko away, Saeed took the contract and left with excitement, he still had a lot of work to do, and he knew very well that Yang Feng certainly couldn't reward him with rifled guns just because of a few beauties. During this time, the Ming army did not continue to move north, largely because the Gendege River was seriously silted, and he and his brother currently recruited more than 300,000 migrant laborers to dredge the route along the way, and these rifled guns were paid for them, and they had to work harder if they wanted more weapons.
Watching him leave, Yang Feng called Yang Zhong to ask about the situation in Europe.
There was a truce in Europe.
After more than a decade of war, they had to recognize Philip's status as king of Spain, and the Habsburgs gave up their rivalry for the Spanish throne. And Louis XIV did not continue the war as Yang Feng expected, although he had already seized the advantage on the battlefield, and even recaptured Gibraltar, and the northern front began to invade the Netherlands, but France was also exhausted. In particular, the financial resources are almost completely exhausted, and even there is a serious famine in the country, and it is not uncommon for the people to starve to death, and the anti-French alliance admits defeat, which also allows him to get what he wants, so he also agreed to the truce when he saw that it was good, of course, the specific division of the territory, reparations and other things, still need to be negotiated before it can be determined.
I have to say that this is very regrettable.
Yang Feng still wants to see Louis take advantage of the situation to annex the Netherlands, but it is obviously impossible.
But the matter has come to this, he has nothing to do, after all, Europe is too far away, his hand can not be stretched so long, Louis is very normal to see the good is also very normal, the French army has indeed seized the initiative on the battlefield, but it is by relying on the French treasury in exchange for a steady stream of bloodletting, in just less than two years, the Ming royal family monopoly arms export company from France alone obtained orders of more than 100 million dragon yuan, equivalent to more than 200 tons of gold.
In other words, even if Louie is rich, he can't stand this kind of flowering!
Another point is the rise of Charlie.
Whether it is Britain, France or Austria, they are very clear that they must face this rising hegemon in the north next, just like Gustav back then, Charles also gave a direct threat to the southern countries, the British Hanover, the Austrian Silesia, Hungary all faced Charles's troops. Louis also had to face the emergence of another strong competitor on the European continent, and it would be Charlie to benefit from continuing to fight the anti-French alliance, in which case all three lost interest in fighting.
And Charlie, at this time, has actually ceased war with Peter.
Because he also had to face the Russians in Kursk, the long transport lines were overwhelmed, and he even simply withdrew to Poltava to go on the defensive.
In particular, the Ottomans also began to send additional troops to Ukraine, and it is clear that as a new riser, he broke the original balance in this area, and the Ottomans did not want a strong neighbor to the north, in this case, to retain the vitality of Russia, so that Peter and Charles continued to contain each other became the best choice for Ahmet III, just as in the original history, after Peter defeated Charlie, he suddenly pressed to the north with an army of 200,000 to threaten Peter, and he now also told Charles by force that this is the end.
In this way, while still occupying a large part of Russia's territory, including Kiev, and the north also occupies the original St. Petersburg area, firmly blocking Russia's access to the Baltic Sea, Charlie is also willing to stop and take a breath, after all, he is also tired.
As for Peter......
It was already a fluke that he could recover his capital and most of the occupied territory, so how could he be in the mood to think about anything else.
"The world is a bit chaotic!"
Emperor Yang said gloomily.
Indeed, the world has been completely disturbed by him.
Originally, after this war, France was greatly weakened, the British offshore balance policy gradually took shape, Austria officially evolved into a strong enemy of France, the Elector of Brandenburg won the title of king in exchange for entering the war, the kingdom of Prussia, a dazzling new star on the European continent, rose, and the Swedes were beaten back to their homeland and completely lost the qualification to compete for hegemony, and Russia became a dark cloud over the head of the European continent and shrouded it for two centuries.
But now, everything has changed.
France became the master of Western Europe, Sweden became the master of Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, Britain was almost squeezed out of Europe, Austria was almost out of breath under the pressure of the three powerful enemies of France, Sweden and Ottomans, as for Russia, his leg was broken, Peter was worried in the ruins of Moscow, Charlie, who was always worried about the recovery of strength, continued to beat him, or Ahmet III took advantage of the fire to rob and erode his territory in the south, and Yang Feng pressed forward step by step in the east, it can be said that it was like a man being squeezed in a corner, The scarred wild dog looked tremblingly at the pile of big sticks around him.
It can be said that the entire world order has been completely reshuffled.
"Mess up, I just like chaos!"
Yang Feng said proudly.
"Do we have any dealings with the Austrians?"
He asked suddenly.
"No, but Universal has an office in Vienna, so Jinyiwei also has an intelligence station there."
Yang Zhong said.
The Universal Company is the trading company that Yang Feng and Charlie partnered, this company has developed rapidly, in just a few years, it has hundreds of merchant ships of all kinds, under the protection of the Ming and Sweden, shuttling between Europe and Asia, transporting all kinds of goods from the East to Europe, and transporting goods from Europe or more simply the Americas and West Africa, including slaves, to Asia, in order to facilitate trade, there are a large number of offices throughout Europe, which are half of the employees of the two countries. Therefore, a large number of Jinyiwei also infiltrated European countries as employees.
"Let Jinyiwei find a way to establish contact with the Austrians, we will need this friend in the future!"
Yang Feng said.
He needed Charles VI, because next his main enemy was Ahmet, the Egyptians were ready for an uprising, his Suez Canal plan was about to begin, and a complete break with the Ottoman Empire was inevitable. And Austria and the Ottomans can be said to be completely incompatible, so when he marches to the Middle East, he can completely support the Austrians, let Prince Eugen's army rob the Ottomans in the Balkans, and then let Charles XII's army go south to seize southern Ukraine, as well as such messy places as Bessarabia, Moldova, and even the Caucasus if Peter wants, and finally everyone divides the Ottomans together.
Anyway, for him, the main value of the Ottoman Empire was a Suez Canal and oil fields in the Middle East.
Other Places......
