Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 128 The Return of the Far East to Ming, and the Return of Europa to France

In the 480th year of the Yellow Emperor era, the 410th year of the Ming Dynasty, and the 52nd year of Qian Deaf, that is, in 1787 in the Western calendar, it was the 13th year that Louis XVI became the last king before the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty in France.

Although Louis XVI is a typical rake ear, and the power of the whole of France is controlled by Queen Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI still has his own ambitions.

The greatest ambition of Louis XVI is to grab territory with Qian Deaf and the old dog.

On the surface, Louis XVI and Qian Deaf Old Dog are a good pair of pen pals, but in fact, Louis XVI’s hatred for Qian Deaf Old Dog is not a matter of a day or two, but An old grudge that had accumulated since the time of his grandfather Louis XV.

Because Qian is deaf and old dog, his father, Yongzheng, used to be the idol of the French people for a period of time.

This matter has to start with Voltaire, the standard-bearer of the French bourgeois Enlightenment in the eighteenth century, "the king of French thought", "the conscience of Europe", a great thinker and philosopher.

Although Voltaire has never been to the Qing Dynasty, and has never seen Qianlong's old dog and his father, all his impressions of Yongzheng come from a letter on December 12, the third year of Yongzheng, in which the French missionary Gong Dangxin wrote Canton wrote a letter to Father Etienne Soucier, but this did not affect Voltaire's admiration of Qian Deaf and the old dog's father:
"Love the law and value public welfare more than the father. No one among the emperors spared no effort to encourage farming. He attached great importance to the top of all arts that are indispensable to the livelihood of the people. Farmers in each province were supervised by the governors of the states and counties where they were located. Those selected as the most industrious, capable, and filial can even be named eighth-rank officials. A farmer does not need to give up his fruitful farming for this reason, and turn to a criminal name that he does not understand. Peasants have the right to Sit in the governor's office and eat with the governor. The names of the farmers are written in gold letters on the hall. It is said that this custom, which is far from our country and may condemn our country, is still in use today .”

"This emperor (Emperor Yongzheng) was the wisest and most lenient emperor of all time. He was always concerned with alleviating the sufferings of the poor and making them labor, he strictly obeyed the laws, restrained the ambitions and tricks of the monks, and protected the peace of the country and wealth, rewarding all useful arts, especially the cultivation of the land. Under him all public buildings, arteries of communication, and canals linking the rivers of this great empire were repaired with grandeur and economy. In this respect, only the ancient Romans can compare."

Mr. Voltaire’s rainbow fart praised Qianlong’s old dog and his father, saying that there is little in the sky and nothing on earth. Not only the whole of France regards the money-deaf old dog as a spiritual idol, but Mr. Voltaire and the others even took money The deaf old dog's father used it as a positive example to teach Louis XVI his grandfather a lesson.

"Look at how Yongzheng became the emperor, and how did you become the king of France?"

"Look at others, and then look at you, isn't it embarrassing? Ashamed?"

In short, just like an adult training a child, Qian Deaf and Old Dog's father became someone else's child, while Louis XVI's grandfather Louis XV became a negative teaching material for criticism.

Then France sent more than 200 people by boat to visit the emperor in Daqing.

These people didn't see Qian Deaf Old Dog's father, but Qian Deaf Old Dog.

In the ninth year of Qian Deaf, Jiang Youren, a young Jesuit missionary from Autun, France, came to Macau. Under the recommendation of Zheng Dai Jinxian, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, Jiang Youren was called to Beijing, and then the old dog Qian Deaf became a The greatest monarch in the world, the most famous writer in our Tartar and Qing Empire, is busy with government affairs every day.

This pissed off Louis XVI.

Well, Qian Deaf Old Dog's father is someone else's child, and when Qian Deaf Old Dog is another someone else's child, co-authoring with me and my grandfather is so disappointing, right?
Okay, since you all think that Old Dog Qian Deaf is someone else's child, then I will beat this other person's child, and let you know who is the real "other person's child".

Ever since he came up with this idea, Louis XVI has been wanting to make money for the deaf old dog.

But let's go back to thinking, and do it. After all, I was not a prodigal in the period of Louis XVI, and it was still a huge empire in the world, so even if Louis XVI had this idea, he had to put this "Extremely dangerous" thoughts are hidden.

In desperation, Louis XVI had no choice but to rely on the existence of missionaries, and first became a pen pal with Qian Deaf Old Dog, while taking the opportunity to inquire about my news, while secretly looking for opportunities.

This search really allowed Louis XVI to find an excellent opportunity.

Qian Deaf for 40 years, that is, in 1775 AD, the Zheng army in northern Vietnam captured Fuchun. King Nguyen Phuc Anh fled south with Nguyen Phuc Anh. Forced into exile in Siam, in 1784, the 1785-year-old Nguyen Phuc Khing (the second son of Nguyen Phuc Anh) went to France with the missionary Bai Dalu, preparing to obtain French aid.

Louis XVI was happy now.

If you want to make money for the deaf old dog, you have to send troops to attack him, but the cost of sending troops directly from France to attack the Qing Dynasty is too high, and the risk factor is too high. Now that there is the Ruan family in Vietnam, this opportunity will come soon. What!

Louis XVI intends to sign the "French-Vietnamese Treaty of Versailles" with Nguyen Phuc Anh, and France will send troops to assist Nguyen Phuc Anh, and let Vietnam cede a port or a larger island to France to prepare for the attack on Qian Deaf.

It is a pity that before Louis XVI signed the "French-Vietnamese Treaty of Versailles" with Ruan Fuying, he received the news that the world was in chaos in the Qing Dynasty, and Qian Deaf and the old dog retreated to Zhili.

Immediately after getting the news, Louis XVI ordered his cousin Pierre in Guangdong to contact Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty who had done money, deaf and old dog, based on the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

And Pierre lived up to the high expectations of Louis XVI, not only brought back more news about Qian Deaf Old Dog, but also brought back a large order.

What made Louis XVI even more happy were the "methods" brought back by Pierre.

"If you can't solve the problem, just solve the person who caused the problem?"

"Some people in the royal family, and those who are rich, are the fat pigs raised by the empire. They must be killed when they should be killed?"

"The left hand appeases, the right hand slaughters, let those civilians choose for themselves?"

Louis XVI hungrily flipped through the French version of "The Art of Power" in his hand, and exclaimed repeatedly: "Sure enough, it's amazing, but the things written by Qian Deaf Old Dog are much more effective. No wonder he can defeat Qian Deaf Old Dog. manage such a large country."

Hearing Louis XVI's unstoppable praise, Pierre laughed and said, "I believe that under your leadership, France will become even greater, and may even surpass the Ming Dynasty."

"As for the old dog Qian Deaf? I'm sorry, Your Majesty, in my opinion, the old dog Qian Deaf is not even qualified to carry shoes for the Ming emperor. After all, no emperor would like an old servant who is seven or eighty years old to give himself Lift your shoes."

For Pierre, who was pretending to be humorous, Louis XVI just smiled and asked: "Pierre, I want to hear your views on the situation in the Far East? Or, is it possible for that Ming country to become our Allies in the Far East?"

Pierre shook his head and said solemnly: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. My respected Majesty the Ming Kingdom will not become our ally in the Far East, or they will not allow us to intervene in the Far East."

"As far as I know, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is an extremely arrogant dictator. Although he has not yet unified the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty, he has already regarded the entire Far East as his sphere of influence. .”

"With all due respect, maintaining a commercial relationship with us is almost his last line. If we really want to intervene in Vietnam's affairs, I'm afraid we will lose all opportunities to connect with business."

Louis XVI hummed, looked at Pierre and said, "Go on, I want to hear your opinion."

Pierre nodded, and continued: "I don't think we need to anger the emperor of the Ming Dynasty because of Vietnam. If we can, we France should become allies with them around the world, not just Only in the Far East."

"In other words, it's best for the Far East to return to the Ming country, and the Europa's to France, whether it's for France or for the Ming country."

Louis XVI hummed again, then took out another letter from the table and handed it to Pierre: "Look at this letter."

Pierre took the letter, opened it for a few glances, and then laughed: "The old dog Qian Deaf's idea is good, but why should we help him?"

Louis XVI shrugged his shoulders and said, "Probably, he really thinks that I, the King of France, is a locksmith who only knows how to play with locks?"

Having said that, Louis XVI looked at Pierre again and said, "I need you to send a reliable man back to the Far East, and tell the Ming Dynasty the news that Qian Deaf old dog asked us for help, as well as the news from Vietnam. Emperor, unleash upon him the goodwill of our France."

"As for you..."

Louis XVI's face gradually became serious, and he looked at Pierre and asked, "Are all the troops you have in your hands absolutely loyal? Are all the firearms traded from the Ming Dynasty equipped?"

Pierre also said seriously: "Although I only have three thousand troops under my command, I can assure you that they are absolutely loyal and reliable."

"In addition, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty replaced by my army are indeed as powerful as I said before. They all have a longer range, higher accuracy, and faster loading speed than our original firearms."

Louis XVI nodded, then took a deep breath, and said: "That's good. Pierre, I need you to lead the troops to kill the Rohan family and arrest all the Rohan family members, just like you did in Ming Dynasty. They will be put on trial for their crimes in front of all the citizens of Paris, as the country has heard."

After thinking for a while, Louis XVI went on to say: "Let Count Artois go to the public trial, but you must first tell Count Artois that what the Rohan family did has nothing to do with the royal family, can you Understand?"

Pierre nodded and replied, "Don't worry, my respected Majesty the King, I know exactly what to do."

Louis XVI hummed, stood up, walked up to Pierre and gave Pierre a big hug, and then whispered in Pierre's ear: "Paris is getting more and more chaotic, if Without the book you brought back, it is estimated that my final result would be to be hanged, but I have no choice."

"Okay now, you not only brought back this book that will allow us to unify Europe, but also brought back an invincible army in Europe, then, let the Rohan family die, France will still be France after all, and the Bourbon dynasty will eventually die." Or the Bourbons."

After Pierre nodded heavily and agreed, Louis XVI went on to say: "Okay, you first find that Vietnamese Ruan, and Pierre Joseph Georges Pinault, and tell them that Guiming from the Far East China, let them go to the Ming Emperor for help, we France will not interfere in matters within the sphere of influence of our allies."
