"On September 18, 1673, the last stronghold of Franskond was defeated and occupied by the Taiping army, and the entire Fransconde fell into the hands of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

After the fall of Fransconde, the Republic of the United Provinces and the Spanish Netherlands officially announced an armistice with the Taiping Army, and while retaining a certain degree of autonomy, the government was reorganized into the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium, and merged into the Axis group of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, becoming a vassal state of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

"Wait." Louis XIV, who was holding the report of the French chief minister on his forehead with his forehead, wondered: "Didn't the Spanish Netherlands establish the Kingdom of the Netherlands?" Why Belgium? ”

The French chief minister replied in a strange tone: "Because Hong Tiancheng, the tyrant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, thought that the name Netherlands was not 'auspicious', so he forcibly asked to change it to Belgium......

At that time, the Spanish Netherlands did not dare to go against Hong Tiancheng's wishes, so it was transformed into the Kingdom of Belgium......"

"Unlucky? Hehe. ”

King Louis XIV of France sneered: "That so-called king really regards Europe as his own backyard, and he can play as he wants!"

The Dutch are a bunch of cowards! ”

"Your Majesty, the elite troops of the Republic of the United Province and the Spanish Netherlands have long been wiped out, and they are simply unable to resist the attack of the Taiping army...... Hey......"

The First Minister of France let out a long sigh and said no more, and the face of King Louis XIV in front of him changed and he hesitated slightly: "Is there really no room to save the war?" You know what I'm referring to! ”

"Your Majesty, that tyrant Hong Tiancheng is a madman, and he insists that we must give up all military power and let the Taiping army fully occupy France before we are willing to accept the armistice agreement, otherwise the war will continue!"

"Hong Tiancheng is dead determined to let the Kingdom of France completely disappear, hand over all the military power, what is the difference between us and the lamb to be slaughtered?

What's more, the current public opinion simply does not allow us to accept such a humiliating unconditional surrender!

What is the attitude of Spain and Great Britain? ”

King Louis XIV of France asked a little depressed, King Louis XIV of France, who was in the prime of life, had gray hair, like an old man in his last years, the crisis of the demise of the Kingdom of France made King Louis XIV look haggard for 20 years!

His health is declining day by day, and the former Sun King is now no different from an ordinary old French man.

"The Spanish Habsburgs have begun to secretly send wealth and important members of the royal family and nobility to the colonies, the main Spanish force has not recovered under the blow of the Taiping Army, the army is discouraged, there is a negative defeatist mood in the country, and the people of the Spanish Kingdom have even put the responsibility for the defeat on the Habsburgs, according to our spy reports, the Spanish Kingdom is likely to break out under the heavy taxes of the Habsburgs over the years!"

"The short-sighted guys of the Habsburg Dynasty, who raised taxes after fighting, and raised taxes when they were defeated, and now they can't even run away and scrape the land three feet high, and the actions of the rotten Spanish royal family are similar to that of Hong Tiancheng, but Hong Tiancheng's methods of the alien race are more upright and ruthless."

King Louis XIV of France scoffed.

The French have always had a sense of racial superiority over the Spaniards, mainly because in the Thirty Years' War, the alliance led by the Kingdom of France defeated the alliance led by the Habsburgs, ruining the Habsburgs' desire to truly unify the Holy Roman Empire.

"The Kingdom of Great Britain is still actively preparing for war, they are mass-producing Mini rifles, and they are the only country in the current anti-Han alliance that has the hope of completing the full assembly of Mini rifles before the Taiping army conquers the whole of Europe, and the Kingdom of Great Britain has obtained samples of the Taiping Army's new breech-loading rifles from the battlefield and is working hard to imitate them.

Now the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is very strong, but the navy only has three giant sail battleships that can take the shot, and it is impossible to land on the British Isles, and in the end, the British Isles may become the last fortress of resistance of the European peoples.

The Kingdom of Great Britain is also working in this direction, and the process of integration of the British Isles has been greatly accelerated, and the Kingdom of Great Britain seems to be about to form a more cohesive capitalist kingdom.

Because those capitalists made great contributions in the war, Your Majesty, we have to admit that the capitalists and factory owners are more suitable for war than the nobles, and the vast majority of our weapons, ammunition and even food are provided by the capitalists and financiers, without whom we would have been defeated by the Taiping army long ago.

And that group of nobles, the best cavalry units that could provide, could not withstand even a single salvo of the Taipings, weapons changed the situation of the war, the war changed the class of the country, and it was time for us to pay attention to the interests of the domestic bourgeoisie. ”

The eagle-like eyes of King Louis XIV of France looked coldly at the chief minister: "How much money did those bankers and capitalists give you behind your back to make you speak for them so hard?"

Do you think that a group of people who are corrupted by the smell of copper and know only how to opportunize are better suited to the battlefield than nobles who regard glory as their life?

Those fat-brained bankers and capitalists, who only know how to hold banquets and play with women in the safe rear, can anyone really go on the field and kill even one Taiping soldier?!

It's our nobles and knightly officers who lead the soldiers on the battlefield, not the merchants who only know how to loot gold! ”

"Your Majesty is right, but great you have ignored a question, where did the weapons and ammunition, as well as food and uniforms of the front-line soldiers, come from?

Without the trade profits and all kinds of lucrative materials brought by the merchants, and without the weapons and ammunition produced by the handicraft workshops and production workshops under the capitalists, no matter how brave our soldiers on the front line were, it would be impossible for them to defeat the Taiping army, which was armed to the teeth. ”

"What do you mean, now that we have defeated the Taiping Army?"

"It's not the fault of the capitalists and businessmen, they don't want the unreasonable Taiping army to rule the continent, they also have family and friends who died in the war!"

"Enough! I thought it necessary for me to change to a new chief minister, but I did not expect that the defeat in the war had infiltrated my court, and I would never compromise with anyone! ”()
