Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 803 Who Will Deal With The Ming Empire
The Duke of Richelieu is really scary, because he can make you pay tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people with just a word of mouth.

Most of the wars that broke out in Europe in the past ten years have his shadow behind him, and the anti-Habsburg alliance was also established under his leadership.

The most powerful thing about him is that you will listen to him and fight with others knowing that you will pay a heavy price.

As a result, you suffered heavy casualties, but France didn't hurt a single hair.

Just like this anti-Habsburg alliance, everyone is indeed jealous of the overseas colonies of the Habsburg dynasty.

Because after Spain annexed Portugal, eighty to ninety percent of the colonies in the world were controlled by the Habsburg dynasty, and the gold and silver they plundered were calculated in millions of pounds, which was several million pounds a year. .

There are also countless grains, minerals, timber, sugar, etc., who is not jealous.

Therefore, as soon as the Duke of Richelieu flicked, these countries joined the anti-Habsburg alliance and started fighting with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.

As a result, all countries suffered heavy casualties, and not a single hair was caught.

France is still the only country that borders Spain on the road, but it didn't hurt a single hair in the early stage.

At this moment, everyone can be regarded as a good learner. If you want to go, you can go together. If you don’t go to France, we don’t go to it!
Of course, Richelieu still had a way to fool them.

Anyway, as long as they follow France, they will be the losers, and France will be the winners.

Historically, France did send troops in the middle and late stages.

However, they basically usurped the fruits of victory.

The end result is that the Spanish emperor has become the grandson of the French King Louis XIV, France dominates the continent, and the Sun King Louis XIV shines in the world.

And other countries are miserable.

The Netherlands fell directly from the maritime hegemony to the dust, and finally became a so-called "neutral country" that did not dare to participate in the hegemony.

King Charles I of England was sent directly to the guillotine.

The Swedish King Gustav II was even worse. He was killed in the Battle of Lutzen at the age of 38!
The rebel territory of the Holy Roman Empire headed by the Kingdom of Bohemia was even more scorched.

On the contrary, Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire, which expressed their spiritual support, had little loss.

Of course, the present battle for hegemony is completely different from the history because of the participation of the Ming Empire.

What Duke Richelieu meant was to let Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire contain the Ming Empire.

Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire, which were also sneaky, would naturally not do such a stupid thing.

The representatives of the two countries shook their heads again and again, expressing that they were no match for the Ming Empire, no way!
Seeing this, the Duke of Richelieu couldn't help but grieved and said: "Are you just watching the Ming Empire sweep the continent with its troops?

At that time, we must be finished, do you think people will just let you go? "

That's right, if you don't restrain the Ming Empire, everyone is doomed!

The others couldn't sit still after being so hugged by him.

The Earl of Stratford quickly chimed in and said, "His Royal Highness doesn't mean that you really want to go to war with the Ming Empire. You just need to go to the border to frighten them. Isn't that all right?"

Who do you think you're scaring?
He also frightened the Ming Empire. Once the million-dollar army rushes over, it will scare us all to death!

The representatives of Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire shook their heads again and again to express their fear and quit.

Upon seeing this, Hendrick, Prince of Orange, simply pointed out: "What is the purpose of your participation in the anti-Habsburg alliance, don't think we don't know.

Just want to take advantage of it without any effort, are you embarrassed?
We in the Netherlands have helped you transship timber and grain, right?
If you do this again, then don’t think about our merchant ships transshipping grain and timber for you, and your fleet don’t even think about passing through the waters under our control! "

Well, here comes both the hard and the soft.

The problem is, you are just talking about it, but we are going to fight the terrifying Far East overlord, the Ming Empire!
Why don't you go to this kind of thing?

The representatives of Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire still shook their heads repeatedly, expressing that the Ming Empire was too powerful, and they dared not go up.

The Duke of Weimar even directly threatened: "You Tsarist Russia, don't forget that you have taken the initiative to fight us several times in order to compete for the mouth of the Baltic Sea.

Now, we see that everyone is a member of the anti-Habsburg coalition, and we don't care about you.

If you don't make any effort to hide behind like this, then don't blame us for being rude. "

These people, as expected, as long as they don't go up, urging others to go up, it's more positive than the other.

Hey, you are all fooled.

Duke Richelieu couldn't help laughing secretly.

However, on the surface, he quickly raised his hand to dissuade him: "Okay, okay, we are here to discuss how to deal with the Ming Empire and the Anti-Habsburg Alliance, so don't talk about other things, so as not to hurt the peace."

The Duke of Weimar couldn't help but annoyed: "The problem, what if they don't want to contribute?
Should we let Sweden contain the Ming Empire?

Okay, let each of the two countries give up a piece of land, let us border Central Asia, let us go to Sweden! "

He was obviously angry.

Just kidding, Sweden is at least five or six thousand miles away from Central Asia. Is it possible to let others give up five or six thousand miles of territory, or two pieces?
Duke Richelieu shook his head pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay, I won't say these words anymore.

It is normal for them to be afraid of the Ming Empire. After all, the Ming Empire is stronger than the Habsburg Dynasty.

If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways. "

The Earl of Strafford couldn't help asking: "What else can I do?

We are too far away from the Ming Empire, and the only two that are close are still unwilling to go up to contain the Ming Empire. Could it be that we organize coalition forces to detour to the Far East by sea? "

Good question.

Duke Richelieu said wisely: "If we don't go, we can let others go."

other people?

Is there any other country that can contain the Ming Empire?

It seems that there is no more!

When everyone heard the words, they all showed expressions of interest.

Of course they have no objection to letting others go, anyway, it's not their people who died.

The Earl of Stratford couldn't help asking again: "In this world, besides us, is there any other country that has the power to fight against the Ming Empire?"

Duke Richelieu shook his head without hesitation and said, "Of course not."

Uh, aren't you talking a bunch of nonsense?

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look disappointed.

The Duke of Richelieu naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, he was leading these people by the nose.

If these people feel that the Ming Empire is so easy to deal with, will they still spend money, effort and weapons?
He pretended to ponder for a while, and then slowly said: "There is no such thing now, but we can create one."

Can this thing still create one?
When everyone heard the words, they were all puzzled.

Richelieu suddenly asked again: "Strafford, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Mughal Empire."

Uh, this.

In fact, everyone knows that if you want to colonize a place, usually the first step is to pretend to have a good relationship with people and know everything about them secretly.

When you know more about it, then you can start.

The British wanted to colonize the Mughal Empire, so they established good relations with them, just like they pretended to have good relations with the Indians before they colonized the Americas.

It's kind of embarrassing to say something like this.

The Earl of Stratford was stunned for a moment, and then said in a friendly voice, "We have a good relationship with them."

The Duke of Richelieu continued to ask: "Then what do you think of their strength?"

This, can I tell you?
The Earl of Stratford thought about it, and said vaguely: "They are not bad."

Well, can you please hurry up?
Let me ask, you say, are you bored?

The Duke of Richelieu could only continue to ask: "Then do you know how many people they have?
This is very important, don't be vague anymore. "

Upon hearing this, the Earl of Strafford suddenly realized.

He couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what do you mean, we let the Mughal Empire contain the Ming Empire?"

You finally understand.

The Duke of Richelieu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I heard that the Mughal Empire has great ambitions, they have been expanding all over the years, and many small countries around them have been annexed by them.

We can take advantage of them and let them contain the Ming Empire. "

In fact, France also wanted to colonize the Mughal Empire. In history, they even fought with Britain in the Mughal Empire for several years.

However, Britain came into contact with the Mughal Empire earlier than France, and knew more about the situation there than France.

In addition, Britain was in its heyday at that time, while France was in a period of decline, so Britain finally won.

At this moment, France has just started to think about the Mughal Empire, and of course there is no British understanding of it.

They were just inquiring about the situation of the Mughal Empire.

The Duke of Richelieu was indeed powerful, and he was able to formulate a strategy to use the Mughal Empire to contain the Ming Empire based on what he had heard.

The problem is, the Mughal Empire is no match for the Ming Empire at all!
The Earl of Stratford said helplessly: "Your Highness, your idea is indeed good.

The problem is that the Mughal Empire didn't even know how to build muskets and cannons, let alone building boats and gunboats. They were no match for the Ming Empire at all! "

Duke Richelieu said wisely: "They don't know how to make muskets and cannons, but we can.

Can we sell them guns and artillery so that they can compete with the Ming Empire for the supremacy of the Far East?

Think about it, would the ambitious Mughal Empire miss this opportunity? "

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

That's right, sell some muskets and cannons to the Mughal Empire, and let this idiot contain the Ming Empire!

The Earl of Stratford said with some reluctance: "If they become stronger, it will not be good for us."

Well, I know you want to colonize the Mughal Empire, so do we!
Duke Richelieu said calmly: "They don't know how to make muskets and cannons. There is nothing to worry about. We can analyze them based on their population and see how many weapons we sell to them, so that they can compete with the Ming Empire." There is a lot of strength.

We don't need to sell them the best weapons, they don't understand anyway, we just make some muskets and cannons that can be used.

Moreover, we can also make money by selling weapons.

Guns and cannons, even if they were offered a hundred times the price, people would buy them.

Think about it, how much money can we make by then? "

Uh, if you charge a hundred times the price, you must have so much money!

The Earl of Stratford couldn't help sighing: "A hundred times the price can indeed make a lot of money. The problem is that the Mughal Empire probably doesn't have so much money to buy enough weapons to deal with the Ming Empire.

Are we going to make money or let others deal with the Ming Empire? "

The Duke of Richelieu smiled slightly: "It's not that much money, it doesn't matter, it's okay to exchange resources, we are in urgent need of copper and iron at the moment, we can let them exchange copper and iron for muskets with us And artillery."

Yup!

The Earl of Stratford couldn't help but excitedly said: "We can also let them plant rubber trees. We also urgently need rubber!"

That's right.

The Duke of Richelieu explained in detail: "This population is quite important.

We don't want to cultivate a strong enemy, but let them fight against the Ming Empire endlessly.

It would be best if they could exhaust the troops of the Ming Empire.

Even if it doesn't work, at least it can delay the Ming Empire for a few years, allowing us to free up our hands to clean up the Habsburg Dynasty.

If you don't tell me how many people they have, how can I know how many people they can organize?
I don't know how many troops they can organize, and how do I know how many weapons to sell to them so that they can compete with the Ming Empire? "

It turned out to be the case.

The Earl of Stratford heard this, and then said straightforwardly: "They didn't even count the population themselves.

However, based on their population density and land area, we estimated it.

At this moment, the Mughal Empire has at least hundreds of millions of people.

In terms of population, they do have the strength to compete with the Ming Empire. "

Very good!
The Duke Richelieu couldn't help but said happily: "Such a large population is enough to exhaust the millions of troops of the Ming Empire. As long as the troops of the Ming Empire are exhausted, the world will still belong to us!
As for the number of weapons, we have to discuss carefully, and even have to adjust it according to the war situation in the Far East.

In short, we want the Mughal Empire to truly have the strength to compete with the Ming Empire, but we must not make them too strong.

Anyway, they have plenty of people, let them use their lives as much as possible, and it will be good for us if they consume their youth. "

This old fox is really poisonous. Not only does he want people to contain the Ming Empire, but he also wants to use up his youth so that he can colonize in the future!

The question is, people are not fools, can they be fooled by this kind of evil?

The Earl of Stratford heard this, and couldn't help worrying: "It's no problem for us to sell them weapons. The problem is, if they continue to expand in other directions with weapons, what if they don't fight the Ming Empire?"

It's so easy!

Duke Richelieu said darkly: "We can pretend to draw them into our alliance, and tell them that as long as they can fight the Ming Empire, we will do our best to help them dominate the entire Far East.

If they go to war with the Ming Empire, we will cut off the supply of weapons and ammunition.

What do you think they would choose? "

I think you old fox is really poisonous, you can come up with such poisonous schemes!
