Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 338 Poke its lung tube!

Both Louis XVI and Zhu Jinsong tacitly did not mention which Louisiana Louisiana is, and even acquiesced that the area of ​​​​Louisiana is only equivalent to the size of the Fujian Chief Envoy.

Of course, Louis XVI knew the real size of Louisiana, and Zhu Jinsong was also very clear in his mind - the area was close to two Wu Si Zang, which was almost equivalent to a quarter of the entire Silly Eagle.

If Louisiana was sold at a price of one tael per acre, the Louisiana that Zhu Jinsong said was about 3000 million acres, but in fact, what was handed over to Daming was equivalent to two Uszang Louisianas, which was enough There are [-] million acres, and the price difference between the two is more than seventeen times.

The price for smoothing out this gap is that Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, should take a good breath for Louis XVI and poke the lungs of the Silly Eagle so that Thomas Jefferson, the third-generation leader of the Silly Eagle, can recognize him clearly. own status in the arena.

Those who play politics have a dirty heart, and no one is cleaner than the other.

However, it is not easy to arrange Thomas Jefferson.

After all, it is the Silly Eagle hanging on the American continent, and it has a unique advantage in terms of geographical location. Thomas Jefferson, the third generation of the Silly Eagle, has not experienced severe beatings from society. He is so old and treacherous, and he doesn't like extravagance like John Adams, the second-generation leader.

The combination of all kinds of messy factors made the difficulty of arranging Thomas Jefferson skyrocket, which was far more difficult than when arranging Louis XVI and the others.

Therefore, after people collected all the information about Thomas Jefferson, Zhu Jinsong directly found Zeng Cheng and other cabinet leaders, and by the way also called Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun together.

After everyone arrived, Zhu Jinsong pointed to the map laid out on the table, and said to Zhu Erdan: "Coincidentally, I was thinking about where to arrange you, but it happened that someone was giving you a pillow when you were dozing off. You, the rules are the same as that of the third child."

Zhu Erdan looked at the map on the table in bewilderment, and asked, "Where is this? From the map, it should be the home of the Silly Jailer, but the Silly Jailer is not one of our five benevolent people? Brother Huang, is this Are you going to attack the Silly Javelin?"

Hearing what Zhu Erdan said, Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other civil servants frowned immediately, and Liu Huaiwen said in a moaning voice: "There are a lot of places to spend money now. , then the treasury will really be empty~"

Zeng Cheng also tentatively said: "Your Majesty, if you start a film with the silly jay, but you don't know what to do with the little broken pot, after all, without the silly jay, the five benevolent people will become the four benevolent people... ..."

Seeing Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng and others talking more and more outrageous, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help coughing, and interrupted Zeng Cheng and others: "When did I say that I was going to attack the stupid thief eagle?"

Zhu Erdan was stunned for a moment, and asked: "If you don't want to attack the silly thief eagle, is he willing to give us these lands?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head first, then nodded again, and said, "Of course the silly burglar won't give us all the land, in fact, the silly burglar is staring at this piece of land right now and wants to swallow it up." into its stomach."

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Zhu Erdan, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were even more confused.

The land belongs to the Silly Eagle's house, but the Silly Eagle is staring at the land again, wanting to swallow it into his stomach?
After careful consideration, Zeng Cheng tentatively asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, is this piece of land not owned by the silly eagle?"

Zhu Jinsong hummed and said, "That's right, this piece of land is not owned by the Silly Eagle, but by France, and now Louis XVI sold this piece of land to me at a price of one tael per acre. This piece of land naturally became our Da Ming's territory, so it should be no problem if I canonize this land to our Da Ming's King Qin, right?"

While talking, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help sighing again, and said: "I originally wanted to buy it from Louis XVI at a price of one tael per acre, but this guy only accepts one tael per acre." The price is a loss, a loss."

Zeng Cheng frowned and said, "According to what Your Majesty said, the idiot eagle is now staring at this piece of land, and Louis XVI gave it to our Daming half sold and half given away. Is the eagle right?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head slightly, and said, "It's not just a silly eagle, there's also Spain."

This time, Zeng Cheng frowned even tighter.

Although it is not a big deal to fight the Silly Eagle and Spain, but now Daming is using troops against Ottomans. Although there are those dwarfs from Japan recruiting laborers in Tianzhu, Daming also has to send troops to the Chief Envoy of Tianzhu. just work.

Coupled with the fact that the mainland of the Ming Dynasty and the lands such as Burma, Jiaozhi, Old Port, Ryukyu, and Lanfang that have only been recovered in recent years will also have to send troops to garrison, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is actually a little tense.

If it is now against the Silly Eagle and Spain, it basically means that Ming must first expand its army to deal with the possible war that may occur next, and the expansion and war mean that Ming's original plan may have to be changed. The speed will also be slowed down.

Thinking of these troublesome problems, Zeng Cheng couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, we bought these lands and bought them, but the number of Dingkou in our Daming is still a bit small after all. Shouldn't things in the past be slowed down first?"

However, what Zeng Cheng didn't expect was that Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be delayed. After the third child arrives at New Qinzhou, the second child has to prepare to go to Louisiana." .”

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong turned his attention to Zhu Erdan again: "By the way, the third child changed the name of Alaska to New Qinzhou, do you want to change the name of Louisiana as well?"

Zhu Erdan glanced at Zhu Sanshun and said, "How about changing the name of Louisiana to New Jinzhou?"

Zhu Sanshun was about to clap his hands and applaud, when he suddenly saw his second brother's expression was not good, he snorted coldly and said, "What are you looking at me for? You can change your name to Old Qinzhou if you have the ability."

Zhu Erdan couldn't help but glared at Zhu Sanshun, and scolded: "You are not a child anymore, why are you so childish!"

Seeing that Zhu Erdan and Zhu Sanshun were about to quarrel, Zeng Cheng hurriedly said to Zhu Jinsong: "Your Majesty, let's talk about the name change of Louisiana later—we, Daming, really want to attack Silly Jaeger and Spain now?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

"Although Louis XVI gave us Louisiana half-sold and half-gifted, it doesn't mean that we, Da Ming, will have to confront the Silly Eagle and Spain—from the consistent legal principles of the Europa countries, Louisiana It still belongs to France now, so this is just a matter between us and France, and has nothing to do with Silly Eagle and Spain."

"Of course, part of French Louisiana was secretly sold to Spain by France during the Seven Years War, so if we want to get the complete Louisiana, we really have to fight Spain."

After Zhu Xisong roughly talked about the Seven Years War and the shitty things between France, England, Spain, and the stupid thief eagle, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs couldn't help but feel a little upset.

Europa's so-called Seven Years' War, to put it bluntly, is the chaos of several countries in Europe.On one side are British Prussia and Portugal, on the other side are French Russia and Austria Spain Sweden.After seven years of war, Britain defeated France, and France ceded French Louisiana to Britain.

But the French are not particular about it, because they gave Louisiana to Spain a year before the end of the war, and giving the territory of Louisiana that had been given to Spain to the British is equivalent to a woman's promise. Two husbands, one product and two sales.

As the so-called "one woman does not marry two husbands, one servant does not serve two masters", in the treaty at the end of the war, Louisiana was divided into two with the Mississippi River as the boundary, the east belonged to Britain, and the west belonged to Spain. .

Later, when France supported the Silly Eagle to get rid of England's colonial rule, in addition to the thirteen colonies that originally belonged to England, France helped the Silly Eagle to get everything east of the Mississippi River, north of Florida, and south of Canada. area.

In other words, the half of the Louisiana Territory that was originally sold to England by France was renamed the United States, and the land area of ​​the Silly Eagle directly soared from the original 80 square kilometers to 230 million square kilometers.

In the first two years, Spain mingled with the Habsburg family and planned to completely abolish France.

Louis XVI summed it up. Since your surname is West, don’t blame me for being the fifteenth——As Louis XVI gave the order, the French army beat Spain first. Dayton, and then forced Spain to sign a "Third Treaty of San Idelfonso".

An important clause in the "Third Treaty" is that Spain returned Louisiana to France—didn't Louisiana be ceded to the United Kingdom and Spain before half, and now half of the United Kingdom has belonged to the stupid thief eagle , this half of Spain returned to France.

This is why Thomas Jefferson and other idiots wanted to find Louis XVI to buy Louisiana instead of Spain.

Of course, the reason why the Silly Eagle must take Louisiana into its own hands, apart from the fact that Louisiana is stuck at the vital point between the North and the South of the Silly Eagle, is because the French recruited laborers in Orleans. ——In order to make money, those French frogs even set their sights on the Kunlun slaves in the southern plantations.

Silly hawks think about it, what the hell is going on? You need labor in France to exchange money, but we also have to use Kunlun slaves to grow cotton. If you let you recruit all the laborers, why don’t you let the gentlemen do it themselves? Picking cotton?
Therefore, Jefferson, the third generation of the Silly Eagle family, was anxious to get angry and couldn't sleep all night, and finally thought of buying land from France.

After clearing out the twists and turns, Zeng Cheng's originally frowning brows slowly relaxed.

After an in-depth analysis, it is not difficult to find that the fundamental appeal of the Silly Jaeger is not that it must get the land of French Louisiana, but that it does not want to have a neighbor like France, and at the same time it wants a guarantee for waterways and trade.

And Daming's fundamental appeal is not to start a film with Silly Eagle and Spain, let alone completely kill Silly Eagle and Spain, but to turn French Louisiana into a fiefdom of the King of Qin that Ming Dynasty doesn't know what the future will be called.

This is much easier.

After careful consideration, Zeng Cheng said to Zhu Jinsong: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I don't think that the interests of our Daming and Silly Eagle are in conflict with each other. On the contrary, our two families still have a lot to cooperate with each other." If French Louisiana becomes the fiefdom of His Royal Highness King Qin, the silly eagle can directly do business with our Ming Dynasty through the Qin king's fief, which is actually a good thing for the silly eagle."

Zhu Jinsong nodded at first, but then shook his head: "From a commercial point of view, this is indeed the case, but from a national security point of view, this statement is actually untenable."

Zhu Erdan hummed, and echoed: "Brother Huang said, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the so-called couch? If I go to the fiefdom, I will definitely find ways to weaken the stupid thief eagle in the future, and I will definitely not sit and watch a powerful one next to me." Neighbor."

Zhu Jinsong nodded approvingly, and said, "That's right, that's exactly the truth, and Thomas Jefferson, the leader of the silly hawk, must have understood it."

Zeng Cheng said: "I think that although what His Majesty and His Royal Highness Qin said is reasonable, it does not apply to the current silly eagle. After all, the stupid eagle has just escaped England's colonial rule for a few years, and its strength is still relatively weak. Stable development is the most important thing for Silly Eagle right now, as for the others, they are not so important."

"In addition, since His Majesty has reached an agreement with Louis XVI of France, the original French Louisiana is legally owned by our Ming Dynasty. Even if the stupid thief is unwilling, there is actually no other way except They are willing to start a war with us Ming Dynasty."

"I feel that the idiots and the others don't have the guts!"

But after Zeng Cheng finished his point of view, Zhu Jinsong frowned unconsciously.

In all honesty, Zhu Jinsong also agreed with Zeng Cheng's statement, but once things really developed as Zeng Cheng said, how could he poke the lung tube of the stupid burglar?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinsong said simply: "The matter of Louisiana is easy to talk about, but there is one more thing to do right now, and that is how to poke the lung tubes of the Silly Eagle, especially Jefferson, who is the handle of the Silly Eagle. .”
