Vienna, Ming Embassy in the Austrian Empire.

In the lobby of the embassy, there was a long conference table, on either side of which sat negotiators from the Ming Empire and the British Empire, while Austrian Prime Minister Metternich acted as an intermediary, sitting at the head of the conference table, very zealously making peace for both sides.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Duke, I don't understand why you two are arguing over the barren land of Australia? Isn't the crown jewel of the British Empire India? You have all agreed on India, and the future Empress of the British Empire will be the wife of King Minglu. This means that the crown of the British Empire will be transferred to the Zhu Ming Dynasty after the Hanoverian Dynasty, and the Ming and Great Britain will become true brothers! This would mean permanent world peace and an eternal international order......"

Prime Minister Metternich spoke with both excitement and anxiety. The excitement is probably because the giants of the two worlds of Britain and Ming are finally going to shake hands and make peace, and even turn hostility into relatives. For the rulers of the Austrian Empire, who looked forward to the eternal world order, it was undoubtedly ideal that Britain and the Ming could unite (of course, the Ming Dynasty) to rule the world.

And anxious...... Probably because Prime Minister Metternich is an impatient? Otherwise, what else would he be anxious about? Although the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom are still entangled in the ownership of Australia. But in reality, the differences between the two sides were not large, and for the British, they largely kept the "jewel in the crown of the empress", and Australia was nothing more than a place of exile for criminals, and there was no pity to lose it. And for the Zhu Ming Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, they have already got the empress herself! What's not to like?

Therefore, the peace agreement between Britain and Ming should be finally reached...... Maybe we will talk about it for a few more years, after all, Princess Victoria is only 13 years old, and she is not yet married, and the current king of England is still William IV. After a few years, Princess Victoria has grown up and become the Queen of England and the Queen of India, and it is not too late for the two sides to complete the peace!

The Duke of Wellington just shook his head and said, "No, no, we can't afford to lose Australia." It was a large continent, and although it was barren, there must have been a lot of abundant resources there, and that was the wealth of the United Kingdom. And in our England, the king and queen are not actually the masters of the country, the real masters of the country are the British people......"

The Duke of Wellington was gushing about the reasons why the British Empire could not give up Australia when the door to the conference room was suddenly slammed open. The Duke was stunned for a moment, stopped speaking, turned his head and saw a white man in a tuxedo, who seemed to be the secretary of Prime Minister Metternich, running in from outside, and handed him a note when he came to Metternich.

Metternich frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with the faux pas of his subordinates, and just as he wanted to reprimand, the man hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, something has happened......

At this time, Metternich's brows furrowed even tighter, and he took the note and glanced at it, and suddenly there was an expression that his eyes were about to fall out, and he reluctantly got up from his chair: "What? How is this possible? ”

At this time, the high-level leaders of the Ming and British countries present were stunned, and they didn't have the heart to continue bargaining, and they all looked at Metternich with curious eyes.

"What's wrong?" Zhuge Weilong, who was an old qualification, shook his goose feather fan and asked.

"That man......" Metternich said, his voice trembling, "that man's son has escaped from Schönbrunn Palace!" ”

"The man's son...... King of Rome? Zhuge Weijiu was also taken aback when he heard this, "Mei Zhongtang, you mean that the son of Emperor Napoleon escaped from Schönbrunn Palace?" ”

The Duke of Wellington also jumped up from his chair, looking so surprised that he was about to jump onto the table: "This, this, how is this possible?" Isn't he seriously ill, with tuberculosis, and dying? How can you still escape? ”

Metternich also looked like he was about to drop his jaw: "Yes, the doctor said that he had tuberculosis and was dying, and this tuberculosis was still passed on to others, so he arranged a separate and secluded small house for him to recuperate." The other day the doctor said that he was dying, so His Majesty the Emperor called his mother from Italy to see them one last time. Outcome...... Just ran away! ”

"Fooled!" Zhuge stomped his feet for a long time, "Little Napoleon must be pretending to be sick, maybe the doctors who treated him are all Bonapartist elements, there have been more and more Bonapartist and republicans on the European side in recent years, and you are too careless!" ”

It's January 1832.

In another timeline, the revolutions of 1830 in Europe have been suppressed by Nicholas I, the European gendarme! But in this timeline, because of the clouds of world war and the "fear of the yellow peril" caused by the confrontation between Britain and Ming, the revolutionary mood of European countries was suppressed to a certain extent. Both 1830 and 1831 passed peacefully.

However, this does not mean that the hidden danger of revolution in the European countries has been lifted...... In fact, the risk of revolution in European countries is much more serious now than it was at the same time in another timeline.

On the one hand, it is because the whole process of industrialization has been accelerated, which also means that the pain caused by industrialization has also been condensed. On another timeline, the decades after the Second Industrial Revolution were the most turbulent, bloody, and certainly the most progressive period in history! Not only did two world wars break out, but the storm of revolution swept across the globe again and again.

How could it not be now?

Europe, on the other hand, is not the leader of industrialization in this timeline, but a catch-up! The biggest dividends of the two industrial revolutions went to the Ming Dynasty, and Europe only had the old books of the Age of Discovery. So Daming can give the middle and lower classes some oil and water in exchange for peace, but on the European side, except for the United Kingdom, others want to score but don't score.

As the loser of the Napoleonic Wars, France lost all the ancestral property accumulated in the Age of Discovery, and in the hands of Louis XVII, it had to engage in industrialization to catch up with Britain.

The suffering of the middle and lower classes can be imagined!

And Louis XVII inherited his mother's love of luxury, and after having some money, he repaired the Palace of Versailles, and led a group of old French nobles to live a life of poverty and luxury again, as if Louis XIV's empire had reappeared in the world......

......

"Great, Napoleon is here!"

This was the headline on the front page of the French newspaper Le National, the newspaper with the largest circulation, on January 10, 1832!

Although the news of Napoleon II's escape from Schönbrunn had just reached France, the editors of Le National, who had long been disgusted with the dark rule of the Bourbons and wanted to change and make France great again, shouted out the hearts of the vast majority of the French people.

And what is even more unfavorable for the Bourbons is that such a headline can actually pass the press censorship of the French government!

When the headline "Great, Napoleon is coming!" After the news of this "National" appeared on the streets of Paris, the head of the Kingdom of France was ignited in an instant like a pile of dry wood meets a blazing fire.

In the morning, thousands of veterans of the Napoleonic era took to the streets of Paris wearing the uniforms they had treasured for more than a decade and holding high the tricolor flag, the symbol of the French Republic, singing "La Marseillaise" to the Louvre and the Douilleur Palace in the center of Paris.

The Duke of Richelieu, the prime minister of the Kingdom of France, who remained in Paris during Louis XVII's foreign visit, knew that something was wrong and immediately ordered the army to suppress it. But when the French army saw the tricolor flag symbolizing the Republic and heard the blood-boiling "La Marseillaise", no one wanted to fight for the Bourbons.

However, they did not immediately defect, but confronted their predecessors in front of the Louvre and the Douinlery...... After all, the protagonist hasn't played yet, and they can't finish the show.
