Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1701
"The archbishop in red is an important figure second only to the king of France, equivalent to the prime minister of the kingdom. The previous archbishop in red, Richelieu, was so powerful that he executed or exiled a large number of rebellious French nobles."

Prince Rupert, Sun Chuanting and other Eastern military officials received the visit of the French Cardinal Mazarin and explained to them that the Cardinal Cardinal was equivalent to the prime minister in France.

Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and others certainly understand the concept of a prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

The current archbishop in red, Mazarin, who succeeded Richelieu, is also a ruthless man. He single-handedly contributed to the European Union. He doesn't care about religious issues, but considers the national interests of France.

"Our king hopes that you can leave our land and return the land that occupied us. As a price, we are willing to pay you an indemnity as compensation." Archbishop Mazaran in red met Sun Chuanting, who was older than him, And the young Cao Bianjiao, Prince Rupert and others explained their intentions.

Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao, and Prince Rupert looked at each other: "How much compensation are you willing to pay for us to leave?"

"Two million livres." Mazaran held out two fingers.

"Two million is too little, and it is not enough to compensate for our losses and consumption in this war." Prince Rupert said dissatisfied with the concept of the French currency unit.

"If you feel that the amount of compensation is not enough, we can talk until we are satisfied. There is nothing that cannot be resolved on the negotiating table."

Ma Zharan led a team of envoys and Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and others tried to buy time through peace talks.

Ma Zaran was also listening to Sun Chuanting and the others, wanting to know exactly what Chu Yun, the manipulator behind the Holy Alliance, wanted.

He soon knew what the Holy Allies wanted.

One is to demand that the Kingdom of Sweden return the annexed territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Spain recognize the independence of Portugal; the other is to demand that the country's doors be opened for trade. Chinese merchant ships can berth and trade at any port in France, and Chinese merchants should also have the right to go ashore for temporary residence and establish diplomatic relations. Later, the Chinese embassy has consular jurisdiction.

Mazaran was a little dissatisfied with Chu Yun's request. Although it didn't seem to harm the interests of France, when Chinese goods poured into the French market, the French economy might be controlled by others.

Compromise will even cause France to lose the European hegemony it finally won from the Habsburg dynasty.

"I don't think the archbishop in red has any intention of peace talks. He's just trying to use the peace talks to keep us off guard." After negotiating with Mazaran for a day, Cao Bianjiao found that the cunning fox was evasive. Didn't talk about anything substantive.

"From tomorrow onwards, find any officer to negotiate with him, preferably an illiterate officer. Isn't he trying to fool us? Then let him meet the soldiers, the reason is unclear, and we are going to launch a war against Paris. general attack." Sun Chuanting had no intention of continuing negotiations with Mazaran.

The main force of the Continental Confederate Army has not been wiped out. With such a new force, Louis XIII in Paris still has illusions, and all countries are also watching.

Only by completely defeating the Continental Allied Army led by Prince Condé and capturing Paris, can they understand how terrifying the Holy Alliance's military power is.

Archbishop Mazaran in red went out in person, but Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and others didn't really believe in his sincerity in the negotiations. He only bought one more day for the construction of the Paris defense line.

The Holy Alliance Army commanded by Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao, and Prince Rupert knew that the most critical battle of this war had arrived.

They began to shrink the force of transportation and protection of food and grass, so that the number of troops that could be put into battle reached 2.7, while the opposite was the 4 European Union Army and the 1.3 Paris Rebels.

The largest battle of this expedition to Paris broke out between the two sides less than [-] kilometers away from Paris!

The Holy League and the Continental League combined had dozens of cannons ranging from 3-pound to 24-pound into this battle.

The formation they put out is still cavalry on both sides, musketeers in the middle, and a reserve team behind them. The only difference is their organization and the depth of the horizontal team.

The two sides first carried out mutual artillery shelling. The shelling lasted for a whole morning, a large amount of black powder was consumed, and the entire plain was filled with thick gunpowder smoke.

The soldiers under the command of Prince Kong Dai had low morale due to the successive victories of Sun Chuanting's army, and they came from different kingdoms, so there was some confusion in the formation under the shelling.

Sun Chuanting led the Chinese cavalry and the Scottish cavalry on the right to launch a violent charge to the left of the Confederate Continental Army, and dispersed the left cavalry composed of German cavalry.

The German cuirassiers were overwhelmed by the prestige of the Chinese cavalry defeating the Polish cavalry, and William, Duke of Brandenburg, had to retreat after leading the German cavalry into battle.

The defeat of the cavalry affected the French infantry line of the Prince Condé on the left, and panic began to spread, posing a great threat.The balance of the battle began to tilt in the direction of the Holy Alliance.

Then Cao Bianjiao commanded the infantry phalanx to approach the opponent's central army, and launched a salvo after entering the range of the muskets!

This is the era of queuing up and shooting, and there is not much difference in the tactics of the two sides. The battlefield resounds with the sound of trumpets, drums, and intensive platoons of guns, and people keep falling to the ground!

If there is no obvious difference in equipment, the outcome of the war will largely depend on the command ability of the commander and the morale and training level of the soldiers.However, Cao Bianjiao's subordinates had an advantage in equipment, and the soldiers of the Indian Tubang were sent to the forefront again. They were used to consume Prince Kong Dai's troops and at the same time cause casualties to the opponent.

In the gaps between the musket lines, there were cannons, Gatling hand-cranked machine guns, shells and metal bullets fell into the opposite position, and Prince Condé encountered the fate of the beach battle again—his soldiers could not survive in such a situation. Persevere under firepower!

After Sun Chuanting expelled the German cavalry led by the Duke of Brandenburg, he led the Chinese cavalry to attack the thick French Legion from the side, leading to the defeat of the French Legion across the board!

More than 4 European Confederates fled. Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and others were unable to capture the prisoners. On the contrary, the Paris rebels who supported the Continental Confederates resisted more tenaciously. Small casualties.

At this time, with the defeat of the main force of the Continental Allied Forces, the gates of Paris were wide open, and there were no fortresses and troops that could stop Sun Chuanting and the others from entering Paris, unless the nobles and civilians of Paris once again formed a rebel army to resist.

However, Paris has already sent reinforcements to the front twice, and this time the nobles and civilians are unwilling to face the terrible enemy again.
