Chapter 133: The First Ally
This reward brought Zhao Dutian not only a 10-year life extension, but also let Zhao Dutian see the dawn of immortality!
Who isn't greedy for life?!
What's more, Zhao Dutian has become a veritable dictator and an emperor who can do whatever he wants!
The allure of the extension of life to the emperor is many times greater than that of ordinary people!
You don't know how many emperors in ancient China diligently pursued the dream of immortality after ascending the throne, and just eating the messy pills practiced by those alchemists poisoned more than a plurality of emperors!
Even so, the emperors who followed persistently sought the path to immortality!
Zhao Dutian is naturally not exempt from vulgarity!
Since then, he has one more reason to expand, and it is a reason that Zhao Dutian can't refuse!
If the previous Zhao Dutian was just to live a better life and have more face, then the current Zhao Dutian is to complete the indispensable ideal in life!
As long as I can keep Louisiana, even if I cooperate with the devil, I am willing!
Zhao Dutian, who had received the lifespan bonus, sat alone in the dimly lit office, his eyes red and whispering to himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, the Foreign Secretary of the Han Empire set off for the British colonies in North America to meet with the British colonial authorities and begin to try some small cooperation with the British!
Britain does not have much affection for this Native American country that has occupied a large number of French colonies, and the difference in race and religion has created a natural estrangement between the British Empire and the Han Empire, even though the Han Empire is cutting flesh on the enemy of the British Empire at this time, the French Empire!
However, the goodwill brought by the Han Empire on its own initiative made the British Empire's cabinet feel a little interested, and most importantly, the Han Empire did not make any non-centrific requests, but put on a very low posture, intending to carve up the French colonies in North America with the British Empire!
The British were busy with the war in Europe, and they didn't have too many troops to grab territory in North America, and the British cabinet government didn't want to put an extra financial burden on itself to organize militias!
However, the conditions of the Han Empire were so good that they offered to form an alliance with the British Empire to help the British Empire get their share of the French colonies in North America!
Most importantly, the Han Empire was willing to give Louisiana's most valuable colonial city, St. Louis, to the British!
Of course, the Han Empire did not come up with any whimsical plans, the Han Empire only needed to seize the French colony of Louisiana, like the French colonies in New France and Canada, and there was no demand!
This is equivalent to the willingness of the Han Empire to stop at its current territory and hand over some Indian troops to the British, and it is up to the British to acquire the New French Colony or the Canadian region.
Zhao Dutian's purpose is very simple, he hopes to temporarily hold the thigh of Britain, so that the French who will end the war in the future will not dare to turn back and start a full-scale war with him!
To tell the truth, this surprised the Cabinet Government of the British Empire, and they were amazed at how an empire founded by the Indians could see the European powers so thoroughly!
In fact, if Zhao Dutian did not contact with European countries, he only knew that if he took advantage of the war of the European powers to expand himself, he would inevitably be attacked by the joint attacks of the European powers after the war!
The reason is simple, if the Han Empire can annex the colonies of the French, who can guarantee that the colonies of the British will not be annexed in the future?
Zhao Dutian only needs to think about it a little to understand that after the reconciliation between Britain and France, the next round of alliance may be aimed at himself......
At that time, the French, British, and Spaniards who have interests in North America will inevitably unite and send troops, needless to say, as long as they pull over the hundreds of thousands of veterans in the European battlefield, Zhao Dutian can kneel......
Of course, Zhao Dutian can also choose to spit out the territory he swallowed in, and then fight guerrilla warfare with the foreign powers in the California region that he is familiar with and has roots, don't think about a big victory, but it can still be done with time to let the powers consume their wealth and blood!
However, so what?
It is true that doing so will inevitably cause great losses in the strength of the European powers, and they will not be able to face North America squarely for several years, but the infrastructure of the Han Empire will inevitably be completely destroyed, the Indian population will be greatly reduced, and everything will have to start all over again......
It can be said that in the end, Zhao Dutian only made the European powers understand how capable the Han tribes in the Americas were, how difficult they were, and how hateful they were, and then they were included in the first sequence of eradication targets!
This is not what Zhao Dutian wants!
There are no fools in this world, and the Europeans will not watch you farm and develop at home!
And once the Han Empire formed an alliance with the British, the French would not dare to talk more!
The French, who had just finished the war, did not dare to risk Britain entering the war again, and for the sake of a sparsely populated Louisiana with little value, they would start with the Han Empire!
As for the Spaniards, the French didn't dare to do it, and the declining Spanish kingdom naturally had to think twice!
Using benefits to win over a British ally, breaking the alliance of the European powers at once, and making the grudgeful kingdoms of France and Spain throw a mouse, Zhao Dutian only paid for handing over some Indian soldiers to the command of the British, why not?
The British cabinet government, which was extremely greedy for the colonies, naturally would not refuse this friendship of giving away territory for nothing, and besides, the British were not afraid of the French!
The British cabinet government quickly accepted the olive branch extended by the Han Empire, and the superior army of the Han Empire began to bypass the fortified city of St. Louis and open the road with the British colonies, forming a coalition army to surround the entire city of St. Louis!
The French in the city of St. Louis, after learning that the city would be occupied by the British, wisely chose to surrender in the case of the disparity between the enemy and our military strength, when Zhao Dutian learned that the French were willing to surrender the British army that did not have many people, and was unwilling to lay down their arms to the elite of the Han Empire, he was silent for a long time before ordering the retreat in accordance with the agreement with the British!
The current Zhao Dutian is not the stunned young man who was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf, and being calm and insidious is Zhao Dutian's biggest gain over the years!
The British colonial army was joined by the army of the Han Empire, and the new French colony, which had not many troops, suddenly caused a disaster!
Soon, however, another piece of bad news came from the European theater that France supported the landing of the little pretender to the throne in Scotland, forcing the British to evacuate Flanders with the most elite troops under the command of the Duke of Cumberland!
It is foreseeable that the situation in Europe will be unfavorable for Britain!
How the European battlefield Zhao Dutian is just a reference, his focus is still on North America, the Han Empire and the British Empire with the Mississippi River as the approximate dividing line, the British obtained the French colonies east of the Mississippi River, and the Han Empire obtained the French colonies west of the Mississippi River.
The actual occupied areas of the Han Empire are all west of the Mississippi River, and Zhao Dutian readily agrees to this division without territorial payment!
