Chapter 160, France, Don't Raise Your Hand!

Ying Imperial City.

Inside the living room of the Great Tomorrow.

There was a burst of hearty laughter right now.

Envoy of the French Republic, Louis. De Saint-Just was meeting with Zhu Daohua here.

To accompany Napoleon is the Duke of Jiaguo of the Ming Dynasty. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bonaparte and the Ming Dynasty, Grand Duke of Dahao Marquis Lin.

Louie, nicknamed "Archangel". De Saint-Just was a very good-looking French man.

And it sounds good.

With intentional flattery, it is easy to gain the favor of many people.

Moreover, Zhu Daohua had contact with the French Jacobins when he was in Europe.

His Daohua trading house also funded the Jacobins - Zhu Daohua lived in Europe at that time, and his reputation was quite big, so he had contacts with all forces, and he also maintained a relatively harmonious exchange situation.

"Monsieur Louis, after we met in Paris, I didn't expect this parting to be four years, and now your dream has been realized for the most part, and you have really turned France into the first republican power in Europe." Zhu Daohua said with emotion.

Sit down, Louie. De San Just looked at Zhu Daohua, the world-famous oriental scientist, the greatest doctor of this century, and the great emperor of the Celestial Empire.

"Your Majesty, you have succeeded in freeing two-thirds of the Chinese people from the barbaric rule of the Tatars in just three years. Compared to what you have achieved in the East, our achievements are nothing but worth mentioning. ”

"But now there are outside forces trying to interfere with your efforts to expel the Manchus."

"You're talking about Britain, maybe plus a Tsarist Russia." Zhu Daohua said with a smile. "There's nothing to worry about, don't say that these two countries have their own ghosts, even if they are really close, Da Ming will not have any fear."

Zhu Daohua is not a big deal.

It's a fact.

Although it is said that it is now on the territory, the colonies controlled by the British Empire are indeed far more than those of the Ming Dynasty.

But in East Asia, this acre of three-third of the land.

Not to mention Britain and Tsarist Russia.

Even if the whole of Europe is united, it will not be enough to fight clearly.

Louis. De Saint-Just sighed in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty had a great emperor.

Those countries that vainly try to block the rise of the Ming Dynasty are as ridiculous as using their mantis arms as a car.

"Your Majesty, maybe you need an ally in Europe." Louis. De Saint-Just Road.

Zhu Daohua smiled when he heard this, and said, "Da Ming is not suitable for an alliance, because I don't want to get too deeply involved in European affairs. ”

Not to mention this era.

Even in the 21st century, when science and technology are advanced.

It is very difficult to project military power across thousands of miles, and only a few countries can do it.

It is impossible for the European side to project a military presence that can threaten the Ming Dynasty.

The same.

The Ming Dynasty now does not have the ability to influence European politics at a deeper level.

Therefore, there is no point in forming an alliance with any European country.

"However, I can give France military assistance, whether France is a republic or a monarchy, this is an internal matter of France, I believe that the intervention of other European countries is a gross invasion of France, contrary to justice!"

"So I can allow France to buy weapons from the Ming Dynasty at a good price, including artillery, muskets, gunpowder, etc."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." Although Louis was a little disappointed that he could not form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, he was able to get the assistance promised by the Ming Emperor himself, which was already a relief for France.

Failed to get the promise of an alliance from the Ming Emperor.

Louis. De Saint-Just was disappointed, but he did not express it.

Because for the French Republic, even if it can't form an alliance with the Ming, it is very important to be able to maintain a good friendship with the Ming - not to mention that you can get weapons from the Ming. De Saint-Just was quite satisfied.

Finally, on the issue of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides, Zhu Daohua agreed in principle to this, and the specific operations should be handed over to the diplomats of the two sides.

After more than an hour of reception, the Ming Emperor gave enough face to the French Republic.

Wait Louie. After the departure of de Saint-Just.

Zhu Daohua stayed with Napoleon for lunch.

Usually, Zhu Daohua's daily meal time arrangement is very fixed.

Breakfast is very simple, just an egg, a glass of milk, a bowl of porridge, and some fruit.

If you don't go out, there is also an imperial kitchen in the Qinzheng Palace, preparing some Cantonese and Chaoshan dishes that His Majesty the Emperor likes to eat, and sometimes Hunan cuisine or Jianghuai cuisine.

And at noon, Zhu Daohua usually eats with a certain minister.

In the evening, Zhu Daohua would return to his residence and eat at the big round table with the queen, the two concubines, and the princes and princesses.

Dinner.

Zhu Daohua saw that Napoleon was a little worried, so he took the initiative to mention whether he wanted to return to France.

Napoleon was slightly stunned.

Frankly.

He was a European who was able to achieve the rank of duke in the East.

It's not easy.

But he is French after all. Or Corsican - Corsica was once ruled by Genoa, and later generations said that Napoleon was Italian, but to be honest, Italy is not unified yet, and the real Italy will appear in about 70 years.

But neither the French, nor the Corsicans.

For Napoleon.

The only reason why he came to the East was just Zhu Daohua's invitation.

He had no memory of the land, and all his ideals were pinned on European soil.

Deep down.

Napoleon's need for true self-realization.

Maybe not in Daming.

"Maybe, I should go back.." Napoleon said with some hesitation.

Zhu Daohua sighed.

In fact, Napoleon's return to France was quite beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

When Napoleon returned to France, it was certain that the future of the European continent would be mired in war that would last at least twenty years.

Great war in Europe.

gave Daming a chance.

For example, immigrating to North America, such as seizing Australia, such as penetrating the tentacles of influence into Central Asia.

Twenty years.

generation.

Da Ming may be able to get half the world!

If only there had been no Napoleon.

What if France just raised their hand?

This has to be guarded against.

If only France had habitually raised their hands.

If the Ming Empire wants to extend its influence into the Americas, it may face the full force of the old colonial empires such as Britain and Spain.

Therefore, this must not happen, and the emperor must be allowed to go back.

Zhu Daohua thought for a while and said, "Bonaparte, I understand your feelings. You are also the best general of the century, and you can help France defeat the invaders. ”

"I can send a group of about 2,000 officers to help you transform the French Army into a Ming-style army."

Napoleon was stunned for a moment.

Then he reacted.

His Majesty the Ming Emperor hopes that Europe will fall into war, so that his Ming Empire can rest assured that it will reach out to the Americas.

Napoleon knew too well what His Majesty the Emperor coveted.

When he first entered Guangdong, he organized expeditions to explore routes from Japan to North America and from Borneo to New Spain.

If France and the European powers were to fight, the Ming Empire's actions in the Americas, neither Spain nor Britain, would be able to stop it with all their might.

But it's also a good thing for France.

Because this means that the Ming Empire will definitely support France to fight the war.

And himself, the Duke of Jiaguo of the Ming Dynasty, if he goes to command the French army, even if the Ming and French are not aligned, it is better than an alliance.

At this point, Napoleon couldn't help but smile bitterly.

His Majesty the Emperor is waiting here.

Perhaps he had long wished he could return to France.

"Hooray, did you just let Jia Guogong return to France?"

Wait for Napoleon to leave.

Lin Dagong said with some concern.

"This is natural, I am not Emperor Taizu Wu, I kill people at every turn."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand indifferently and said.

The emperor is online.

With the experience of Daming.

Could Napoleon really be able to occupy all of Europe?

Is the future a division of the world between China and France?

Zhu Daohua shook his head.

Future...

The future is no longer visible.

How much impact can the rise of the Ming Empire have on this world.

Zhu Daohua himself couldn't predict it.

............

"British duke, this way, please!"

After receiving a summons from His Majesty the Emperor.

rushed back to Yingtianfu from Hangzhou in a hurry.

During this time, Sun Shiyi solicited investment everywhere in Liangjiang.

It's just not very effective.

If it weren't for him, His Majesty the Emperor also invested 100,000 Ming Yuan in him.

I'm afraid that many businessmen and gentry think that this grandfather is here to commit fraud.

What is the return on investment in India's land, ports, markets.

Now that India is yours, dare to boast of Haikou?

Therefore, Sun Guogong's effect of attracting investment for his future Indian princes was not good.

But it can't be helped.

This is an expedition to India.

In addition to giving guns, the Ming court only promised to use the navy to escort them.

Even the shipping fare to India had to be paid out of his own pocket - fortunately, the Nanyang Shipping Corporation, of which Emperor Zhu was the major shareholder, agreed to his request to pay the debt on credit first and then repay the debt, otherwise the shipping fee alone would have been a headache for Sun Guogong.

Now the Ming Dynasty organized the reclamation of Borneo and transported a boatload of people from Guangdong to Borneo, and the travel expenses had to be invested in one Ming Yuan.

And Sun Shiyi is going to India from the Strait of Malacca, and he is unfamiliar with India.

How can a person cost five or six yuan just for freight.

70,000 troops, and then you have to hire tens of thousands of civilians to accompany the army or something. Let's hire 30,000 people.

That's five or six hundred thousand just to transport people over.

It is also necessary to prepare all kinds of military supplies.

All of this is about money.

So Lord Sun is really exhausted during this time.

When he raised the military resources needed for Fukangan's army of Jinchuan, he didn't bother much.

He, a British duke, really deserves a loss.

"The emperor is now receiving envoys from various countries, and he asked you to go directly into the meeting room to attend."

One of the attendants whispered.

Sun Shiyi nodded, and he didn't give red envelopes or anything like he did in the Qing Dynasty - the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had not yet learned these things.

The attendant opened the side door, and before Sun Shiyi could walk in, he heard the commotion inside.

He cautiously walked in and saw the secretary of the War Department sitting on the side, and Zhao Si, the Duke of Song Guo, was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Except for Zhao Dashuai.

Several high-ranking cabinet officials of the Ming Dynasty also attended.

He walked lightly to Zhao Dashuai's side, pulled out a chair next to Zhao Dashuai and sat down.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
