Chapter 894: The First Battle That Decided the Belonging of the World (7)

Louis XIV's actions completely angered some people, and they joined forces and began to plot some possibilities. The national interest must first give way to the personal interest. Louis XIV felt that he had made a lot of money, but he did not know that he had made a bad move.

What happened in distant Europe will have to be transmitted back home in two months at the earliest. The seizure of Dafa Bank occurred after France announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Daming, that is, more than half a year has passed. In fact, the news had already spread to Daming, and Chen Ping, as the president, could not see any clues on the surface. But some people have gone crazy, and the nobles who are extremely close to the business interests of the Ming Dynasty have sent representatives who have been in Beijing for two months, but they can't see Chen Ping. One of the representatives is still Chen Ping's French beauty Mira, as the biggest loser of this Sino-French relationship, Mila is like an ant on a hot pot in Jingshi's house. Madame Rambouillet also lost millions, and during the honeymoon period of Sino-French trade, she made a lot of money, not only in exchange for bank loans, but also in a surplus of millions. Now that the money has been blocked in the bank, what if Chen Ping doesn't admit it?

As for Mira's losses, they are mainly concentrated in industry. Several of the family's enterprises in France, such as cement factories, woolen mills, and iron factories, were successively seized by the army. Bank deposits are a trivial matter, he still has a million loans in the bank, and the loss is not big if he is blocked, the key is that these enterprises, each of which can bring millions of profits every year. I can't stand the shutdown for a day, let alone be seized, and now it has become an enterprise in the hands of the emperor. The family has been working hard to get back. But they were all refused to be returned by the royal family on the grounds that they had Daming shares.

The two women are in the house of the Jingshi, living all day like a year, their backers. but he refused to go to the road. No matter how you get in touch, the phone is bursting up, and there is no news. The housekeeper and the servants of the house were still the same as before, which made Mira feel a little comforted. As for the war between the Ming Dynasty and Europe, there is no right or wrong for them, isn't it just that the matter of grabbing money, food, land and women has not been discussed?

The afternoon sun is blazing. I faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, this place is relatively quiet, the people living in it are all rich people, and every family has a carriage, but every time I hear the sound of horses' hooves, Mira still sits up straight from the chaise longue, and the opposite Rambouillet waved his hand listlessly: "Don't get excited, my dear, you haven't been disappointed enough lately?" ”

Mira swished to her feet. He whispered: "No, go and have a hunch, he is coming." After saying that, he flew into the house, called the maid and said, "Quick, give me makeup." Madame Rambouillet looked at her back and shook her head helplessly, this was all about to become a problem. Damn man, you don't admit it when you put on your pants. They really did it. Women, in the eyes of these big men of the Ming Dynasty. It's really not a scarce resource. With the current status of Chen Ping and Zhang Guangde, what kind of woman do you want? , if Mira doesn't understand this, her career in Daming will still be difficult in the future.

Thinking so, in fact, it has always been Madame Rambouillet's trick to achieve his goal by conquering men. Compared to Mira. During his time in France, for Chen Ping, he really managed to defend himself like a jade.

After a brief touch-up, Mila went to the front yard and, when she saw Madame Rambouillet still lying, said, "My dear." I suggest you'd better go back to your room, I can feel him at the door. Madame Rambouillet shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, I think it's time for me to get up too, go back to sleep, damn it, I've been suffering from insomnia lately." But I would advise you not to get your hopes up too much. ”

As soon as the words fell, a lower girl trotted in and whispered, "Auntie, auntie, Mr.'s carriage has arrived at the door." ”

Madame Rambouillet jumped up from the chaise longue as if she had a spring on her buttocks, and exclaimed: "Oh, damn it! ”

Chen Ping's face was gloomy as he walked through the door, like a sign before a storm. Mira, who came in a hurry, immediately squatted down and said, "Greetings to the master." "Okay, this is the etiquette to learn from the Ming people, in fact, Chen Ping didn't have a clear request.

"It's not good to learn anything, learn these vain things." As soon as Chen Ping spoke, his face was not good, Mira's heart sank sharply, and when she looked up, there were two lines of tears on her face: "My dear, I have been working hard to learn to be a Ming woman." ”

"Well, what you should learn is how to hold on to our assets in France, not these useless things. Damn the General Staff Officer, he won't let go. Categorically disagreed with the sending of ground troops to land in France. After Chen Ping finished speaking, Mila understood that the anger was not directed at her, so she quickly stood up and said, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it." ”

Chen Ping said: "With the loans of the French nobles, my loss in France is more than 10 million Chinese dollars, do you think I'm angry or not?" If it weren't for the fact that the French state loan had already been replaced by eighty percent, my loss would have been even greater. ”

Seeing Mrs. Rambouillet come out, Chen Ping smiled reluctantly: "Some time ago, everyone needed to avoid suspicion, so please understand." Now I hope that you will show an attitude as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for me to guarantee everyone's interests. However, please rest assured that as long as you have your passbook in hand, the bank will guarantee that your deposit will be cashed. Of course, it's limited to just two. ”

"Oh my God! You are so gracious! Madame Rambouillet squatted directly on the ground and cried bitterly, now she is not young, she is old, no matter how she dresses, she can't kill those sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls. Time is a handful of pig feed, and no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't bear the ravages of time. It was precisely because of this that Mrs. Rambouilt felt hopeless, thinking that she had been completely abandoned by Zhang Guangde. As everyone knows, the attitude of the Ming cabinet towards these French nobles is not at all what she thinks.

The three of them entered the back room and sat down, Mira looked at Chen Ping with a displeased face, and turned a lot of thoughts in her heart, and said tentatively: "My dear, why doesn't the General Staff agree to land in France?" Chen Ping shook his head and said: "The cost is too high, the meaning of the General Staff, the purpose of defeating countries on the Spanish battlefield and forcing them to sign a surrender treaty can be achieved with the strength of the navy." Damn the struggle between the Navy and the Army, which affects our interests. ”

"Cost?" Mira asked puzzled, and Chen Ping unexpectedly patiently explained: "That's right, it's the cost." The general adviser calculated that if he wanted to land in France and fight, based on the French Empire's strength of 500,000, he would need to increase his military expenditure by at least 50 million Chinese dollars. Congress will certainly not approve this money, but it will only cost about 20 million to blockade the Mediterranean and other European countries with a navy. The Ming Empire had already opened up the Spanish War, and there was no need to open up the French battlefield again. If we cross the border from the ground into France, it will be difficult for our army to cross the Pyrenees. ”

Sending troops to France? It seems inappropriate to talk about this topic here, but these two French nobles don't care at all, they care about their own interests. "What if war could force that damn short man in high heels to abdicate?" Mira gritted her teeth and asked, in the whole of France, no one hates Louis XIV more than her. Not to mention the family's business interests, they worked hard to come to Daming, and they have been shelved for so long, if a woman hates a person, she is much more vicious than a man.

"No, no, no, it can't be. If you look at the Ming Dynasty, you will know that the emperor did a lot of things that should not be done, and even presided over a mutiny, but the ministers still did not intend to abolish the emperor. You don't understand, in the Ming ....... When Chen Ping explained disapprerovingly, Madame Rambouillet interrupted very impolitely: "No, no, dear Chen, you don't understand the national conditions of France. An emperor is an emperor if he is welcomed by the people, and if the people abandon him, he is not an emperor. ”

"The people?" Chen Ping smiled without a trace, this word is really versatile. "Yes, the people. Damn the dwarf, during his reign in France, he was extremely militaristic and constantly engaged in foreign wars. Taxes are heavier day by day, and as soon as his army is defeated, the people will rise up and overthrow his rule. ”

"The army?" Chen Ping looked over, and Madame Rambouillet explained: "That's right, that dwarf relies on his army, and the banner of religion. Now, though, it seems, he is more dependent on his army. However, there are also many people in his army who are dissatisfied with his rule. We are far from the two of us who have suffered greatly in France. There were probably more than two hundred nobles, who were almost bankrupt in this storm. ”

"Because of the war, the taxes of the peasants and craftsmen of the French Empire were repeatedly increased, and the emperor's tax collectors whipped the poor people everywhere, forcing them to hand over the last copper plate. For the sake of the people, our family is willing to reach out to those who are willing to rebel against tyranny. Mira's tone suddenly became sacred, and she seemed to empathize with her, and she was bound to carry the banner against tyranny.

Chen Ping showed a thoughtful expression, and pondered for a while before he spoke: "In this way, I can try to let the parliamentarians who listen to me raise this topic in the Congress." But you can't say it the other way. The Ming Empire has been deceived and insulted by France, and it is necessary to step down Louis XIV, the dwarf, what do you think? Papapa, the two women applauded very face-saving, and Chen Ping smiled with satisfaction.

In this world, it is really all about interests, and this is true for individuals and countries. Hehe, especially these Europeans, are even more rude, righteous and shameless, they have nothing to say to them, and if they directly mention interests, they will naturally jump into the pit.
