Chapter 159: Reason

When the Han Empire was in full swing to prepare for the Battle of Los Angeles, Zhao Dutian's conversation with George Macartney also became close, and Zhao Dutian's frequent meetings with George Macartney not only wanted to win over Britain, but most importantly, this George Macartney, who was very familiar with the ruling class of European countries, could give Zhao Dutian a good answer to many doubts!

For example......

"Envoy Georges Macartney, as far as I know, Louis XV's political and military achievements were very limited, and he did not seem to have any merit other than being relatively handsome, and Louis XV's eyes seemed to have been fixed on the European continent, how could he suddenly think of sending troops to America to test my strength when his finances were about to be exhausted?

Louis XV was not like an emperor who could easily listen to persuasion! ”

Zhao Dutian asked George Macartney. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The intelligence infiltration of the Han Empire in Europe, finding out the temperament of the rulers of various countries is naturally the top priority, such as Frederick the Great, who likes to listen to opera and good men, the Queen of Austria, who is feminine but always jealous of her husband's inattentiveness, and Philip V, who has a bit of political acumen and has always wanted to revive the Kingdom of Spain, but has been repeatedly frustrated when the country is not strong!

Louis XV, the monarch of a European power alongside Britain, with the efforts of the Secret Service, Zhao Dutian naturally also touched some of his temperament, Louis XV is the standard prince charming of this era, handsome and chic, and perfectly inherited the legacy of Louis XIV, the French 'Sun King', no matter how you look at it, she is a female killer!

Louis XV did take advantage of this, and after Louis XV's legal wife, the Polish princess who was seven years older than him, was gone, he wantonly looted beautiful women to fill his army of 'mistresses'!

Handsome appearance and noble status made Louis XV very fruitful!

Such a king who is addicted to wine, even if he has a reasonable brain, his energy will be limited, and Louis XV really doesn't pay attention to the battle for colonies!

This is also the reason why Zhao Dutian wondered, what prompted Louis XV to decide to send troops to test himself?

The Han Empire was a nominal ally of Britain!

I have to say that this decision of France really made the Han Empire face a crisis, this point in time happened to be the period when the war potential of the European powers was exhausted, even if the French were defeated, they would not be attacked by their exhausted neighbors, and even if the troops of 10,000 people were lost, they could not shake the foundation of France.

However, once the combined forces of the French and Spaniards were victorious, it was disastrous for the Han Empire!

As long as the European rulers who are interested in the heart of the Han Empire are not difficult to perceive the fragility of the Han Empire that is now in its infancy, the other party does not need to completely destroy the Han Empire, as long as they defeat Zhao Dutian's main force, go deep into the hinterland of the Han Empire, loot those fledgling factories and burn them down, the Han Empire will never rise!

The person who can send 10,000 French legions must be able to see that the real relationship between Britain and the Han Empire can naturally be inferred that once the Han Empire is truly weakened, there is no need for France to take action personally, and Zhao Dutian, the dictator, will be reduced to a puppet!

The British Empire with a parliamentary system also knew the reality of the Han Empire, but their biggest enemy was France, and Britain would not personally do anything to the Han Empire until France withdrew from the American colonies!

However, except for the British Empire, which was a constitutional monarch, all European countries were ruled by feudal kings, and it was not difficult for a group of people to discover the reality of the Han Empire, but it was not easy for a person to see through the reality of the Han Empire!

Just like Philip V, if it weren't for the French taking the lead, Philip V would never have thought of using an army to test the Han Empire......

As for the rest of Europe, Zhao Dutian can't guess, because except for France, Spain and the United Kingdom, even if the monarchs of other countries see the rise of the Han Empire, they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight leisurely, anyway, they have no interests in the Americas!

When Georges Macartney heard Zhao Dutian's doubts, he thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with telling him about France.

"Actually, Louis XV made this decision because a woman influenced Louis XV."

"Woman?!" Zhao Dutian's expression suddenly became weird, he has been trying to prevent his wife from getting involved in politics, but in a European powerhouse, it seems that it is very common for women to be involved in politics!

In front of her, there was an Austrian queen who did not give her husband any rights, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Russian Empire even had an Elizabethan tsar!

The most terrible thing is that these female rulers are all like Ming Jun, not to mention the achievements of the Austrian queen, without her, it is not certain that the Habsburgs are still there!

Tsar Elizabeth is also a powerful figure, after she came to the throne, she abolished the cabinet of Tsarist Russia, restored the senate system, concentrated all the power of Russia in itself, and achieved a beautiful independence and ......

These women have much more power than male emperors!

Compared with the number of women in power in the history of European countries, the number of women in power in the history of the ancient Oriental countries for thousands of years is simply too small!

Europe has a traditional law that prevents women from inheriting!

Unfortunately, no matter how old and authoritative a law is, it still needs people to enforce it......

As soon as Georges Macartney talked about women, he suddenly became interested, and began to tell Zhao Dutian the legend of this woman, who was almost half a French king!

This woman who could influence Louis XV had no official title, but was just a mistress of Louis XV, and of course, this mistress was very favored and was named the Marquise de Pompadour by Louis XV.

Well, in Europe in this era, divorced noble women, also known as Madame......

The Marquise de Pompadour obtained the title of Marquisate entirely on her own ability, and the history of the rise of the Marquise de Pompadour is a true version of the Cinderella story, and the Prince Charming is Louis XV in his youth!

Louis XV ascended the throne in his twenties!

The Marquise de Pompadour, whose original name was Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, was Jeanne when she was not ordained, and her father was a commoner with a small fortune and no title!

This Mademoiselle Jeanne, the Marquise de Pompadour, did not even know who her own birth mother was......

Of course, the biological father of the Marquise de Pompadour did not know who gave birth to his daughter......
