Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 336

Louis XVI pointed to the noses of Monroe and Livingston and told them: "Unless the last woman in France is dead, France will never transfer Louisiana to the fool."

Louis XVI's statement directly scared Monroe and Livingston.

As we all know, although the French army is good at fighting with hands raised when it is in a large force, once it is led by a lame man or a woman, the French army will become good at fighting, and even toughen England's army head-on. army.

Therefore, the statement "unless even the last woman dies" is enough to prove Louis XVI's attitude and determination.

However, Monroe and Livingston are certainly not reconciled to this failure. After all, Jefferson, the third leader of the Silly Eagle, is not as easy to talk to as the first two leaders Washington and John Adams. On the contrary, the third leader The third-hander Jefferson belongs to the typical dog that bites people - usually does not move or bark, and will bite dead when he moves.

Monroe and Livingston also knew very well in their hearts that if they could bring Louisiana back to the Silly Eagle from France, then the future benefits would be obvious, and it would definitely benefit them greatly.

But if you fail to bring Louisiana back and let France continue to control Louisiana, it will not only be a useless thing.

There can be a whole host of downsides.

Out of this consideration, of course Monroe and Livingston would not give up, but stayed in Paris. On the one hand, they kept persuading Louis XVI with the friendship between the Silly Eagle and France. Keep raising prices in Louisiana.

However, the most unacceptable thing for Louis XVI is the so-called increase in the purchase price by Monroe and Livingston-from one cent per acre to three cents per acre. Is this the so-called high price?

Louis XVI was thinking that Louisiana was too far away from France after all, and it happened to be in the heart of your stupid thief eagles. If you Jefferson insisted on Louisiana, it would not be impossible.

But what the hell are you going to do with a price of three cents?
Who the hell is this disgusting!
Louis XVI, who was disgusted by Monroe and Livingston, completely lost the mood to spend time with them. He simply dismissed them under the pretext that he was about to hold a meeting of five benefactors, and then directly He came to Daming with George III.

And after coming to Daming, Louis XVI, who had already complained all the way, suddenly felt wronged again—if you want to say which country is the most powerful on this small broken ball, it must be Daming, but Daming is not as stupid as you You bully people too, why are you so awesome, a silly thief?
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved Louis XVI simply went to Zhu Jinsong to complain: "You said that it is such a broken piece of land, even if you give him a silly hawk for nothing, but you said he has to make one. The price of one cent, isn't this fucking disgusting?"

"Yes, they raised the price to three cents, and even said that the price is still negotiable, and it is not impossible to talk about four cents-damn, I, Louis XVI, are a little poor, but I A few cents less than his price?"

"Let me tell you, it's not a matter of money or not at all, I just can't swallow it!"

"Today he dares to look down on me, and tomorrow he dares to look down on you - this time the meeting of the five benefactors of the little pot, I have to vent my anger on the stupid thief eagle, otherwise this bastard thing really thinks how many wings he has! hard!"

Zhu Jinsong didn't care much about how strong the wings of the Silly Eagle were. After all, the Silly Eagle was thousands of miles away from Da Ming, and now that their strength was weak, they couldn't threaten Da Ming.

Zhu Jinsong is more concerned about Louisiana than the Silly Eagle.

Louisiana is a state in the south of Silly Eagle. It is located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, bordering Arkansas in the north, Texas in the west, Mississippi in the east, and the Gulf of Mexico in the south. So a little bit.

With such a large area, it would not be a problem to relocate millions of Ming people there, right?

Of course, how many Ming people can be relocated and how much population pressure can be relieved is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the geographical location of Louisiana - it just happens to be stuck on the main artery of the North-South traffic of the Silly Eagle.

To put it bluntly, if Louisiana belongs to Da Ming, then the Silly Jaeger will have to be controlled by Da Ming.

As for what Louis XVI said was not about money, Zhu Jinsong took it as a joke.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that if something is said to be not about money, then most of the thing is about money.

In other words, the biggest reason why Louis XVI was unwilling to sell Louisiana was that the price offered by the silly burglar was not high enough.

Zhu Jinsong sighed, and said to Louis XVI: "If the masters of the silly thief eagle were our old friends Washington and John Adams, surely such a shitty thing wouldn't happen-after all, it's still Jefferson was too young to know the relationship between the five good men."

"Otherwise, let's do this. After Jefferson also comes to Daming, I will invite you to watch a few scenes first, so that Jefferson can get to know the other four good people, and save him from always thinking about it. .”

"At the same time, I also tried to persuade him. It was a good thing for the Silly Eagle and France, so there is no need to tear up because of it, right? There is no need to get it on the battlefield if it can be resolved at the negotiating table. Go up and solve it."

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Louis XVI felt much more comfortable in his heart.

When people are in different positions, the effect of speaking is completely different - George III persuaded Louis XVI in this way, Louis XVI would only treat George III as a joke, but when the same words came out of Zhu Jinsong's mouth, Louis Sixteen felt warm in my heart.

After thinking for a while, Louis XVI said to Zhu Jinsong: "If Jefferson is sensible, everything is easy to talk about. If he is not sensible, I think it is necessary to teach him a lesson."

Zhu Jinsong smiled and nodded at first, then shook his head and said: "It's not difficult to teach him a lesson, the key is that France and England are now using troops against the Habsburgs, so how can we afford it in a short while?" Come and teach Jefferson a lesson?"

"In my opinion, it is precisely because Jefferson saw this that he made such a demand for strong buying and strong selling when you can't spare any extra troops."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong tapped on the table again, and said in a deep voice: "Also, Silly Javelin is one of the five benevolent people after all. It's okay to teach him a lesson, but we can't kill him completely after all, otherwise the American It’s also a question of how much there is on the mainland.”

Louis XVI said bitterly: "Damn it, this Louisiana has become a hot potato!"

Zhu Jinsong said in his heart that if this potato is not hot, why would you willingly give it to me?
After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong simply told Louis XVI: "In this way, the Habsburg family can't last long. It is estimated that in half a year or a year, the Habsburg family will be completely cool. Now, when the time comes, how about you concentrate on cleaning up the Silly Eagle?"

"As for now, it's better to let them be proud for a while, let's listen to what they say, and let's delay if they want to buy Louisiana, neither admitting to the deal, nor completely blocking the conversation."

"After France is free, I will send someone to support you with a batch of more advanced ordnance, so that you can take advantage of the silly eagle."

When Zhu Jinsong said this, Louis XVI immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, my friend, I think the most correct decision I have made in my life is to become friends with you."

Just thinking about it, Louis XVI felt that it was not safe. After all, it was easy to beat up the stupid thief eagle to vent his anger, but it was very difficult to keep Louisiana.

Again, Louisiana is too far away from France and too close to the silly burglar.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to save fire near the water. If the foolish eagle is determined to annex Louisiana, will France still have to fight the foolish eagle with real swords and guns?
It is impossible to think about it. After all, France has just finished the Habsburg family. Although it has gained a lot of benefits, it will take time to get rid of these benefits. The strength is definitely much stronger than that of France.

Thinking of this, Louis XVI couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said, "Forget it, my friend, I know you want to help me vent my anger, but Louisiana is too far away from our France after all, even if it can survive for a while, I'm afraid it will be too late." I can't keep it forever."

Zhu Jinsong shook his head, and patiently persuaded: "That's not necessarily true—I've thought about it, the size of Louisiana is about the same as Fujian's chief envoy, if you are willing to move millions of people to France , and then hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed, no matter how powerful the Silly Eagle is, it will be useless, Louisiana will still have the surname Louis after all."

Louis XVI smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Relocate millions of people? No, my friend, Daming can relocate millions of people to the Old Port and Lanfang, but France cannot migrate to Louisiana. With millions of people, Ming can station hundreds of thousands of troops in Old Port and Lanfang, but France cannot station hundreds of thousands of troops in Louisiana, and even stationing [-] troops is impossible."

Zhu Jinsong showed curiosity, and said with a oh: "What do you mean? I heard that France can be regarded as a powerful country with a reputation in Europe. Migration of millions of people is a problem for others, but for you It shouldn’t be a problem for Brother Louie, right?”

I have to admit that Louis XVI is indeed an honest man——Facing Zhu Jinsong's question, Louis XVI had no intention of hiding anything, but nodded honestly and said: "For me, migration Millions of people is really a problem."

"You have to know, there are a total of about one billion people on the small broken ball, of which Daming accounts for more than 4 million, and the remaining 2 million are diaper heads who will soon be recruited as laborers-the remaining 3 million There are more than 100 other countries scattered on the small broken ball."

"In other words, the average country may only have a few million people."

"Even if France and England still have more strength and more population, the population of our family will not be very large. Although the relocation of millions of people will not evacuate the whole of France, in fact It also has a big impact.”

"As you said, if you want to completely occupy Louisiana, you have to relocate millions of people to Louisiana, and then station hundreds of thousands of troops. Otherwise, you will not be able to resist the Silly Eagle."

Speaking of this, Louis XVI couldn't help sighing, and said to Zhu Jinsong: "To be honest, I really envy you. Daming not only has an incomparably vast land, but also has the largest number of people on Xiaopoqiu. Based on these people, you can do almost anything you set your mind to."

For the praise and envy of Louis XVI, Zhu Jinsong certainly accepted it unceremoniously. After all, the reason why Zhongyuan Tangkou is awesome is that it has been awesome since its ancestors—the little broken ball on the card table. The players changed from group to group, but Zhongyuan Tangkou has always been in the dealership position. It is unknown how many poker players will be killed in the future, so why does Zhu Jinsong not support him?

After thanking the old ancestor secretly in his heart, Zhu Jinsong smiled slightly and said to Louis XVI: "Don't be discouraged, there is an old saying in our Central Plains hall, that is, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road. .”

"You don't have that many people in France, and neither do the Silly Eagles. You France can't mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, and neither can their Silly Eagles."

"So, you don't need to move millions of people to Louisiana right away, you just need to move slowly. At most, you can station a hundred thousand troops there first to deal with the Silly Eagles."

Louis XVI shook his head and said, "However, the crux of the problem is that not only does France not have a few million people to migrate, but even if there is, the cost of continuously transporting supplies to Louisiana is beyond France's ability to afford."

Speaking of this, Louis XVI's eyes suddenly lit up.

France does not have millions of people to migrate to Louisiana, nor can it deploy hundreds of thousands of troops, let alone be responsible for the subsequent transportation of materials.

However, these problems are problems for France, so what kind of problems are they for Daming?
Migrating millions of people?

As long as the Emperor Ming is willing, he can relocate tens of millions of people.

Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed?

As long as the emperor of Ming Dynasty is willing, he can station millions of troops.

As for shipping supplies...

Although Daming's shipping capacity in maritime trade is not good, but in terms of shipping power for military use at sea, the entire small broken ball still has to be respected by Daming!
