Daming 1805

Chapter 337 It's time to end this war
Prince Shire is still dressed very stylishly and decently, but his spirit is obviously a little decadent.

Chu Yuqiang handed the gift to the servant of Prince Charles, bowed his hands and seated himself and asked:
"The son is here, do you have any new ideas?"

Now the products of Dashi Clothing Company are no longer just Zhu Jingyuan's designs, it should be said that most of them have long since ceased to be.

Professional fashion design craftsmen, based on Zhu Jingyuan's design ideas and styles, constantly introduce new ones.

At the same time, Prince Charles, a collaborator, often puts forward some ideas, and also has the name of a designer.

He himself took the name of a designer, and the clothing company produced several sets of clothes designed by the French prince, and both sides took what they needed.

It has always been a pleasure to cooperate.

Charles shook his head with a melancholy sigh and said:
"I don't have any special thoughts, it's just that the atmosphere is quite depressed recently, so I want to chat with Shopkeeper Chu..."

Chu Yuqiang can guess the general situation, but he never directly gets involved in politics:
"If the prince is bored, you might as well go out more and visit various places..."

Charles shook his head slightly without interest:

"Charles, now I have a task for you, Lord Talleyrand, tell me..."

"Napoleon should not be able to counterattack now."

Louis XVI was originally a weak character, at this time he said with [-] points of annoyance:
"Then try it according to your method, talk to the British first, and ask the British what they mean...

"We have occupied most of the coastline, and Napoleon's troops have retreated west of the mountains.

Chu Yuqiang considered the current situation in Paris and France, and directly followed Prince Charles' words and said with a smile:
"Then I will accompany the prince to Xintianfu, and the clothing business will also be closed for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's too late to say these things now, let's make a decision as soon as possible to solve the immediate troubles."

So I can't say let Charles escape, but just suggest him to go out for a walk.

If Louis XV dies young, Felipe V claims to inherit the French throne, which may trigger a new war of succession.

Chu Yuqiang nodded very firmly and said:
"I have been in Paris for three years, and this time I happened to go back to report to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Here the Duke of Richelieu added:

"Is there any danger? For example, being detained by Da Ming, as a hostage or something..."

Both Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire are colonies of France itself, and it is normal for the French prince to visit.

"Will the King of France allow his son to go abroad?"

Morian said bitterly:
"Theoretically, this is..."

But Louis XVI knew it.

Very happy to tell Chu Yuqiang the news that he is going to Xintianfu:

The Duke of Orleans didn't want the war to end like this, but the king and the ministers had already decided, and he couldn't change the result.

"We have worked hard on our own to grow so much. Why should we pay more taxes for no reason?"

Prince Charles is the "best friend" of Prince Dashi, which is well known in the French court and even in Paris.

It's not the turn of the Orleans family.

As a result, he was beheaded during the Great Revolution.

The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand agreed together:

This matter is indeed not a competition for interests, but for world peace.

Then Prince Charles nodded and said:
"I can visit Prince Dashi and invite him to mediate the Yinzhou war..."

At the same time, Charles was the undisputed heir to the throne of France, according to Tessie's tradition of succession.

Also changed the name to "Philip Equality".

"I want to meet my bosom friend... my bosom friend is going to Yinzhou now, can I visit Yinzhou?"

Although his son died earlier than him, his grandson, Louis XVI, was of age.

"My luxury clothing store could be the target of criticism.

A group of people are in a state of desperation.

Morocco is now an international neutral country, the whole country is a free port, and the key is the exclusive port of the French.

But it was not his decision to let the king's only son go on such a long trip.

Charles stood up directly:

"Your Majesty, in the name of His Royal Highness Prince Shire, you can invite Prince Dashi to mediate this matter.

If Louis XV died, he would be succeeded by the regent Duke of Orléans.

Louis XVI rightly said:

Louis XVI immediately appeased and comforted is also education said:

"The situation in Paris and the country is not stable now, in case something unexpected happens..."

Prince Charles said:

"The war thing makes everyone very tired..."

"Moreover, politics is not only about interests, not just hostility and competition, but also mutual help.

"The nobles' money is not picked up for nothing, it is an asset passed down from our ancestors.

"Otherwise, you can do it yourself, don't use my name."

"Father has already given permission, but I also have additional tasks, and I will start soon.

Talleyrand also interrupted:
"I also think this is feasible, we can even ask Daming to mediate..."

Prince Charles received permission, and immediately thanked his father very happily.

Louis XVI is discussing the Yinzhou war and finances with the Duke of Richelieu, the Duke of Orleans, the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand, and the Minister of Finance François Mollian.

Charles walked in directly following the servant, regardless of what was being discussed at the scene, and said directly:

Chu Yuqiang felt that if the French king and ministers could not handle the current problem well, civil strife might break out in France.

"This subordinate understands that it must be done as soon as possible. When it is ready, I will immediately notify His Highness."

Charles said goodbye to his father and several nobles and ministers, and walked back to his palace very briskly.

The Orléans family has coveted the French throne for nearly 100 years.

The Duke of Orleans was unaware of the negotiation process between Britain and France and Daming for "borrowing teachers to help suppress".

When Xia Er heard Chu Yuqiang say Mozhou, he suddenly became energetic:

Meanwhile the servants of the court came in to report:

"Your will..."

Talleyrand and Duke Richelieu knew at the beginning that it might be the best choice to directly ask Daming to help counter the rebellion.

"After all, you have to deal with political affairs in person, and among them there must be affairs related to Daming.

"I don't have the chance to experience any new clothes in the business..."

"We want to forcibly force the mountains of the vassal state, which is a difficult task.

"Okay then, Charles, go and meet the Prince of Food in person. I will let His Excellency Talleyrand accompany you there. If you encounter any problems, you can consult him..."

When Louis XIV died, there was only one immediate descendant in his immediate family, a five-year-old great-grandson, Louis XV.

It is safer for Shire to go to Ming Dynasty. If something happens to him, Prince Dashi will escort Shire back to succeed him.

It is more stable than the traditional crown prince in China.

Then Louis XVI ordered to Prince Charles:

If he could rescue Shire by coincidence under such circumstances, it would be equivalent to a rare commodity.

The Duke of Orleans immediately asked:
"Are we going to give up the Canadian colonies? What will be used to fill the holes left by these three years of war?"

Chu Yuqiang smiled and said:
"Then go abroad and have a look. It just so happens that it's winter in Taixi, and you can spend the winter in Mexico, Morocco, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)..."

Chu Yuqiang immediately realized that it would be better for the prince to come down to do the rare goods to live in.

At that point, anything can happen.

"Paris is the same... the whole of France is like this now, it feels like it's going to rain...

If there is a direct reform now, of course Louis XVI will be the king, and then Prince Charles will succeed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, although commoners also have merchants and factory owners, there is still a gap compared with the nobles' industries."

The Duke of Richelieu didn't finish his sentence, but Louis XVI understood what he meant.

Even if the United Kingdom does not accept it, France will not fight again. If France adopts this attitude, the United Kingdom will have to accept it.

The French and the British fought this war together, and of course the British must be brought along for peace talks and mediation.

Louis XVI also felt that it was much better to use the name of Charles, a close friend, than the name of France.

Chu Yuqiang was a little surprised, but Louis XVI agreed directly.

Prince Charles said at once:
"Impossible! Prince Dashi is not that kind of person. If Da Ming wanted to detain me, he should have done so during the negotiations in Cape Xiyang."

"Your Majesty, His Highness Charles is here."

"I think it's time to end this war..."

Morian nodded directly and said:

When Louis XVI heard what the Duke of Orleans said, he immediately thought of what happened at the beginning:
"At the beginning, Da Ming should have directly sent troops to join the war, and handed over all the land west of the mountains to Da Ming as a reward.

Louis XVI was a little worried:

Prince Charles shook his head directly after listening:

At this moment Charles bowed his hands to Talleyrand and said:

The Duke of Richelieu took the initiative to speak at this time:

"Charles, one day my life will come to an end and you will be the new king of France.

And asked the French Supreme Court to declare Louis XIV's will invalid.

Prince Charles confessed to Chu Yuqiang, and went directly to his king's father, Louis XVI.

"Prince Dashi is now the governor of Yinzhou of Ming Dynasty and also the Minister of Foreign Affairs. His status is very suitable..."

In those days, it was common for children to die...

Prince Charles is not stupid, he thinks what his father said makes sense.

I am also tired of this war and the depressing atmosphere in Paris now.

Even if Shire died young, Louis XVI still had two younger brothers, namely Louis XVIII and Charles X in history.

"This will not harm the interests of Prince Dashi and Daming, but will increase the reputation of Prince Dashi.

Another grandson became King Felipe V of Spain after the War of Spanish Succession, but at the same time gave up the right of succession to the French throne.

Louis XIV originally wanted his illegitimate son to be regent.

The Duke of Orleans immediately interrupted again:
"Is this about giving up all land west of the Appalachians, giving up all of the Great Lakes region?
"Without minerals and taxes from these areas, how are we going to pay back what we owe during the war?"

He's actually providing shelter for these people
Historically, this generation of Dukes of Orleans actively participated in the French Revolution.

Prince Charles and Talleyrand are also acquaintances. They once went to the Cape of the West to participate in negotiations.

But Chu Yuqiang was a little worried and said:

But they also understood that France at the time could not make that kind of decision.

Regarding the situation in France, the Duke of Orleans is now in a state of watching the excitement without too much trouble, and even wants to fan the flames.

But who will be the king?

Otherwise, he would not allow his own store to put on a "welcome key government" gesture.

"We can take back the territory east of the mountains without a single soldier or a single gold coin!"

His ideal in history is to establish a country with a constitutional monarchy system, similar to that of Britain.

Duke Richelieu said:

Louis XVI gave Talleyrand full authority over Shire's travel and negotiations.

"Father, I want to leave Paris for a while, to visit Dashi Kingdom and Daming's Xintianfu, to visit my best friend."

"Please excuse my refusal, I don't want my friendship with His Royal Highness Prince Dashi to be mixed with any political factors."

"Your Excellency, please get ready as soon as possible. We will set off as soon as possible. The weather is getting colder and colder. I want to spend the winter in Xintianfu."

It's not impossible to die a king or something.

The relationship between Louis XIV and his younger brother can be considered good, but the relationship between their offspring is not.

I can just use this as a reason to go to Xintianfu to meet my best friend.

But Louis XIV still made a will, and if Louis XV died young, he would let this Philip V inherit the French throne.

Louis XVI was obviously taken aback, but Duke Talleyrand next to him subconsciously said:

Talleyrand looked at Louis XVI:

Talleyrand's expression was a bit tangled. He didn't really care whether Charles went there in person, and it was even better to go in person.

If there is really chaos in France afterwards, he will let him stay outside to avoid the limelight.

"It may be a good thing that my shop has been closed for a while."

Now their family sees another opportunity.

Talleyrand went on to explain:
"Probably not, as His Highness said, Da Ming doesn't need to do that, and even if he did, it's not now."

"This kind of thing can enhance the friendship between you, not the other way around."

"This time, you invite Da Ming to mediate the war, not to invite Da Ming to join the war or ask for help.

The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand looked at each other, and then the Duke of Richelieu stood up and said:

But Mengxian County and Yinzhou are Daming's vassal state and Huangzhuang. Isn't the French prince afraid of becoming a hostage when he goes?

"Only by visiting and explaining in person can we reflect our sincerity.

However, Louis XV finally grew up safely, and later gave birth to a son and several grandchildren.

"Mozhou! Can I visit Meng County! I want to see how those rayon threads are made.

Charles was really taken aback this time:
"Shopkeeper Chu, are you kidding me? You're going to Xintianfu with me too? Just close the shop!"

"It's best to invite the British to participate, and contact Daming to mediate..."

But of course it's not 100% of the time.

The 61-year-old Duke of Orleans immediately said:

"Even if His Royal Highness Charles goes to find Prince Dashi, it can guarantee His Royal Highness's safety better than staying in Paris.

"It's just in your name, you don't need to visit Prince Dashi in person."

Louis XVI finally nodded a bit tangled:

Talleyrand immediately informed Prince Charles of the situation.

Talleyrand nodded with a wry smile:

Talleyrand, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was the real messenger of the negotiations with Zhu Jingyuan.

Talleyrand immediately reminded:

Louis XIV lived exceptionally long, but none of his descendants lived long.

The ancestor of the current Duke of Orleans was the younger brother of Louis XIV.

"Furthermore, the current situation in Paris can really be considered to be full of wind and rain.

"Your Majesty... Do you want His Highness to go to Yinzhou..."

The Duke of Orléans' first relatively legitimate attempt at the throne failed.

"Ending the war does not necessarily mean giving up all the colonies, we can give up the inland areas west of the mountains.

The domestic situation in the UK is not much better than that in France, and there is a high probability that they are willing to accept this result.

"But after leaving Paris, I don't have the chance to chat with shopkeeper Chu often.

Instead of letting his nephew, the second Duke of Orleans, succeed him.

"Now that the country is in crisis, the nobles should take out the money, right?"

"Treasurer Chu, please wait here for a while, I will go to my father to ask..."

But since things are done, it's a good thing for me.

But Louis XIV's nephew, the [-]nd Duke of Orléans, staged a coup d'état and became regent.

Louis XVI looked at the ministers in front of him:
"The most wealthy people in France now should be nobles."

If the internal problems are resolved, then go out to play normally, and come back to continue to be his crown prince.

Charles did not think deeply, and directly agreed:
"Indeed, in the current situation, it is better for the clothing business to close down for a while."

Chu Yuqiang immediately reminded again:

"Your Highness, please don't disclose the news of my departure and closing of the store."

Charles didn't think about why this kind of thing should be kept secret, he just nodded and agreed:
"no problem."
