Xinshun 1730

Chapter 611
If the people are incited, and William IV is asked to be in power for life, and marching towards Amsterdam at this time, there will be a lot of buffer time.

There is a lot of dissatisfaction among the people.

But when I think about it, France and Prussia are on the side, and the enemy is at hand. Although they are still eager for internal changes, they can give William IV some more time, thinking that the war will be over first.There are priorities.

Liu Yu's visit, aggressive diplomatic attitude, and the momentum of clearly asking for a statement all put the Regency faction in a deadlock.

Both options are a dead end.

Everything stems from the fact that the Orange faction is not in power now.If the Orange faction were in power now, this deadlock would be against them.

Liu Yu is not a friend of the Orange faction, but he seems to be guided by God to help the Orange faction. There seems to be a... divine power in the dark. In the eyes of Earl Bentinck, it seems superstitiously like this It is a harbinger of the Dutch revival.

William IV understood that Earl Bentinck was waiting for him to make a statement. As long as he agreed, the entire Orange faction in the Frisian "court", in various cities, and in some key positions would be ready to act .

Everything will revolve around the crisis of Regency rule brought about by Chinese diplomacy.

After a while of silence and hesitation, William IV finally nodded in agreement.

"Well, if the people ask me to be in power, I will choose to march to Amsterdam. However, it cannot be in the form of a civil war."

These words are enough. After saluting to William IV, Earl Bentinck took his leave and contacted the staff.

…………

At this moment in Amsterdam, Liu Yugang and Anthony, the speaker of the Seven Provinces of the Netherlands Alliance, are pretending to be angry after talking about it.

"Your Excellency, Great Speaker, we have been talking for three days, and we haven't even reached a basic consensus."

"You tell me about the East India Company, let me talk to the company; the shareholders of the East India Company came to the door and said that it involves the permission and decree of the Parliament."

"You treat the problem like a ball and kick it around. Even the most basic consensus has not been reached."

"I've really run out of patience. If the next time it's this kind of reply, I suggest that the meeting be extended from once a day to once a week. If it doesn't work next time, then extend it to once every half a month."

"But it's pointless to procrastinate like this. You have to choose one of the two choices, sooner or later. What's the use of procrastinating?"

Great Speaker Anthony also felt bitter.

I thought that no matter which one I signed, I would be a traitor.

But if I don't sign it, once serious consequences are caused, I will not be a traitor, but I will become a poor politician who makes mistakes in judgment.

Not much difference.

"Master Marquis, the national conditions of the Netherlands and your country are different. It takes time for the inter-provincial parliament to meet. I hope you can understand and give us more time."

"Or, you go to France, England, Russia, or Prussia, or Austria first. Even if you increase the meeting interval to one month, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach a consensus."

"Of course, if you are not going to the rest of the countries, we also warmly welcome you to rest in Amsterdam."

Anthony thought, let's continue to delay.

If his guess is correct, then Liu Yu should not go to other countries, and will definitely open a breakthrough in the Netherlands on the issue of tariffs and China-EU free trade.

It's not just Liu Yu who wants to delay. The Dutch parliament has been meeting for several days. At this time, the internal focus and external difficulties, only the word "delay" can be unanimously approved.

To delay China.

Austria, France, and the United Kingdom must also be delayed.

Only by procrastinating can the most favorable result for the Netherlands appear.

William IV of the Orange faction is the son-in-law of the king of England, but these regent oligarchs are not the son-in-law of the king of England. On the contrary, the oligarchs in various cities are quite dissatisfied with the "Navigation Regulations" and the Anglo-Dutch customs agreement.

Although I also know that France is not a good bird, if France occupies the lowland area and borders France and the Netherlands, the Netherlands will face tremendous pressure from the French army. In this era, who is not afraid of the French army?
But if you are afraid, it is impossible to do things from the perspective of the British.

As much as possible, we still pursue a situation where both sides have the same source and neither side offends.

News came from Austria that Queen Teresa had gone to Hungary, hoping that the Hungarian nobles could help her.

Although her grandfather dealt harshly with the Hungarian nobles, her uncle did not act lightly. Not to mention the banning of many powers of the Hungarian nobles, he suppressed the continuous Hungarian independence movement, and even sent the viceroy to supervise Hungary.

Although Teresa was crowned as the Queen of Hungary, it is still unknown whether the local nobles in Hungary will support her.If Hungary does not support it, it is absolutely impossible for the Netherlands to immediately express its firm support for Queen Teresa in a foolish manner.

What happens to the Austrian army when Prince Eugen dies?Two years ago, the United Russia fought against Turkey, and they were beaten violently by Turkey. Just like this, if the Hungarian nobles do not support it, what can a dry Austrian king do?
In terms of status, the status of the Bavarian elector supported by France is not bad.

The wife of the Elector of Bavaria is the cousin of Princess Teresa. The two of them have the same grandfather, both of whom have been emperors of Shinra; King of Lidi, King of Bohemia, King of Hungary, Emperor of Shinra.You Teresa can inherit, why can't my wife inherit?

Fortunately, Teresa's grandfather and uncle "bullied" the Hungarians too hard. If Teresa could understand the principle of "one piece of civil and martial arts" and the principle that the predecessors are strict and the latter are loose, let her grandfather hang on in Hungary. The noose around the neck, maybe the Hungarian nobles can also support it.

Moreover, the anti-Austrian alliance played too smoothly, and the crisis was imminent.

This kind of "Eighteen Route Princes" story, on Dashun's side, as soon as this word appears, most people know that the business must not be done, and internal troubles may start first.

It's the same in Europe.

Frederick II wanted Silesia, but France supported Bavaria, which really made France extend its claws to Bavaria and Bohemia. Wouldn't Prussia also face a huge threat from France?

For the sake of Silesia, win Austria, and then change to a stronger France by your side?
The Dutch have disarmed and abandoned warships in recent years, relying on their diplomatic diplomacy.Now the news from Austria undoubtedly gave the Dutch hope again...

Maybe, soon, Frederick II will be able to reach a settlement with Queen Theresa, and under the mediation of the United Kingdom, Silesia will be handed over, and then Prussia will jump back, and everyone will happily fight against France.

Anyway, France is so strong that it can't be beaten to death for a while. In the end, both sides are exhausted and the balance situation reappears. Wouldn't the Netherlands be able to relax for a while?
At that time, France will be empty, and Dashun will lose the bargaining chip it has to negotiate with Britain.

At that time, the Netherlands can reach a private agreement with the United Kingdom and firmly oppose the equal trade and tariff agreement with China.

As long as Britain and the Netherlands unite on trade issues, there will be no gaps in Dashun in Europe.What about equal trade?Can't they just maintain the status quo in a desperate manner?
Who can Dashun count on?The French who counted on the bankruptcy of the East India Company to help Dashun do business?
There is nothing to be afraid of the small business of the Swedes. As long as the UK and the Netherlands work together to kill the trade issue with China, the Swedes will not be able to do much.

Therefore, dragging on, it seems that nothing has been done, but in fact it seems to be the optimal solution.

Only this optimal solution is the same as Earl Bentinck's road to Dutch revival. Everything should follow this routine, including internal strife among the eighteen princes, France being betrayed by its allies, and so on.

But other than that, there is no better way.

Anthony wants to delay for the sake of the Netherlands.

But he didn't know that Liu Yu actually wanted to procrastinate, and he didn't want to settle the matter so early.

Liu Yu's views on the situation in Europe, especially the future of the Netherlands, are not as optimistic as the Dutch.

If Prussia wants to be strong, it must obtain Silesia. In order to obtain Silesia, it has to betray its promise, jump back at any time, or even sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.But in short, it is impossible to unite in Austria to fight France.

France is now in its prime. As long as Prussia stays in the game, Russia and Sweden are at war, and Britain and Spain are fighting, wouldn't it be easy for France to take care of Austria and the Netherlands?

Russia had to recuperate for a while after defeating Sweden;

As far as Liu Yu is concerned, he has plenty of time, and what he wants is to make sure that the Netherlands is eager to pick up a bargain and declare war on France.There is also the accumulation of discourse power for the "yellow and pornographic tabloids" published here, and to buy time.

He was also afraid that the Netherlands would not be able to pick up this "big deal".

Because he didn't think about negotiating with the British at all.What is there to talk about with the British?The British East India Company took the initiative to post to cooperate with Dashun and monopolize the trade of Dashun's specialty products in Europe, and he would not agree.

Besides, he doesn't believe that European countries can relax customs duties and trade with Dashun on an equal footing.Therefore, we can only choose to find opportunities to penetrate into Europe.

This is not a world imagined by later generations. As long as China, which has closed its doors intermittently since the Ming Dynasty, takes the initiative to trade, European countries will sing and dance to welcome it warmly.As long as you take the initiative to trade, others will be willing to be your market.

This is the real world. China has taken the initiative to trade, and European countries are worried that their handicraft industries will be destroyed and the outflow of gold and silver will double, so they take strict precautions and resolutely oppose it.

Don't have illusions about Europe.

Seeing that the Dutch have taken the initiative to procrastinate, Liu Yu said in his heart that you should procrastinate, the initiative is in my hands, and I can force you to express your stance whenever I want.I still have an "ultimatum or embargo" card that I haven't played yet. Is it true that I am a good fortune boy?

I was happy in my heart, but my mouth was full of dissatisfaction, and I cursed a few times in Chinese.

Great Speaker Anthony couldn't understand the national curse, but guessing from Liu Yu's tone and comfortable pronunciation, he could also know that it must be some foul language.He didn't care about these swear words, and thought that it would be a good thing if it could be delayed. If you force me to express my position now, I can only choose the prospecting and cooperation trade.

Before the translator could translate these swear words, Anthony took the initiative to say some farewell words, and Liu Yu also left the negotiation venue angrily.

As soon as Liu Yu returned to his residence and was surrounded by his own people, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "I won't leave this time, I will stay in Shajiabang! I plan to buy a house or rent a manor, and I will leave in the future." If it can be used as a liaison office, it may be upgraded to an embassy someday.”

Kang Bushao, who was at the side, was taken aback, thinking, isn't this Amsterdam?How is it called "Sakabang"?
Fortunately, Liu Yu occasionally uttered some strange words in his daily life, and he always had to explain them thoroughly, and what he said seemed reasonable.

After getting along for more than ten years, now there is no need for Liu Yu to take the initiative to explain, Kang Buxiu can make up some intriguing things by himself.

After being slightly startled, he immediately figured out the meaning, nodded secretly and said: "This translation is really wonderful."

"Amsterdam is a transliteration. In Dutch, it means land on a swamp full of water."

""Daya · Mallards" says: "The mallards are in the sand, and the dead bodies come to Ning. The sand is the land next to the water."

"Bang, those who have no port and no glory, are called "bang", and they are all swamps, and the water is vast."

"The one who adds is to use human power."

"In free translation, Shajiabang, Shajiayubang, refers to the artificially piled land above the swamp. It not only shows the original meaning of the name, but also shows that the Netherlands is good at surrounding water to build fields, especially the large number of windmills, which are used to lift water from polders. Only then can the lowlands become fields and swamps become cities, which is just right..."

"Especially this added character is the finishing touch. It fits the concept of 'human beings can conquer the sky' as the young master often says. What manpower does, the vicissitudes of life can change its appearance. Yesterday it was ruined, but today it is prosperous and prosperous. The power of man can be added to earth." Ze, changing the appearance of that river, isn’t it better than heaven? Wonderful! Wonderful!”
