Xinshun 1730

Chapter 626
Liu Yu, who has investigated the backgrounds of these people and obtained the political backgrounds of these nobles through some formal channels, after hearing the appointment, took a sneak look at the Marquis of La Schettadi, thinking, child, you will suffer from this up.

This Bestuyev is really famous.

This person is very famous, and Liu Yu has heard many legends about him.

Even if it is not the reputation as a politician and diplomat.

Many people must have heard that he and the most famous women's clothing boss, bisexual knight, white lily knight in fate heroic spirit, male in the first 49 years and a woman in 33 years later, French spy master, Queen Elizabeth's secret lily, 59 The legend of Dion de Beaumont, who won the title of Foil Sword Master in London at the age of [-], wearing women's clothing and holding a skirt in one hand.

Revolving around the Russian-British alliance, or the Russian-French alliance, the story of him fighting against the women's tycoon in the Russian court became a classic legend of that era.

At least, the Marquis de la Schettadi, who is at the level of "living room conspiracy", can't beat him.

The level is too low.

It can be said that Bestuyev's vision is extremely unique, his diplomatic vision is quite excellent, and he is a master strategist with foresight and manipulation.

At a glance, I can see through Russia's way to break the game, that is, to unite the Olympics, unite the United Kingdom, and fight Poland, Prussia, and Ottomans. This is what Russia can really eat.

To take advantage of Russia's position in the northern corner, ask Britain for money.

Let Russia become Britain's crap stick in Europe, let Britain continue to provide financial support for Russia, and rely on British money to eat the surrounding area, this is the right way.

Otherwise, it would all be wedding dresses for the French.

Moreover, the countries surrounding Russia, such as Turkey, Sweden, and Poland, are all traditional allies of France. Bestuyev has seen a lot of duplicitous actions against the French. Who knows if he will stab a knife in the future?
Historically, he has been trying to establish a tripartite alliance of Russia, Britain, and Austria.

Frederick II once commented in a letter to the minister: The fate of Prussia and my own family depends on him-Bestuev.

Louis XV also mentioned in the task of sending the spy knights to Petersburg: the first thing is to make Bestuyev fall out of favor, which is the fundamental interest of France.

The only possibility for Prussia to win is to overthrow this extremely anti-Prussian Bestuyev.

The cornerstone of France's desire to become the leader of Europe is to prevent Bestuyev from promoting the Anglo-Russian alliance.

Under the joint conspiracy of Prussia and France, this person has been in charge of Russia's foreign policy for 20 years, counterattacking again and again, and defeating the conspiracy of France and Prussia that wanted to pull him down one by one.

Moreover, the key is that this is a person who "does big things" and is very courageous.

In 1758, Queen Elizabeth fell ill. This person seriously suspected that the heir Peter III was a fan of Frederick II. Once Peter III was enthroned, Russia's blood would be shed in vain.

He could directly carry the emperor and the Privy Council behind his back, and wrote a letter to Marshal Racine at the front line: Brother, I am afraid that the queen will die, so hurry up and bring the troops back to prepare for the mutiny, and push the princess to the throne. People who think about Russia's interests.

All I can say is, God Bless Prussia.

If Elizabeth had really died that year, Prussia would have been destroyed.The marshal led the troops back to mutiny, and Ekaterina II took over directly. This German woman is a real Russian strongman, and like the Georgian strongman in later generations, she will never let her "motherland" go.

Or Elizabeth lived a year longer than in history, and Prussia was over.

But Elizabeth didn't die that year, so he was deprived of power and exiled.In the end, Peter III came to power briefly, revived Prussia, and completely changed the pattern of Europe and even the entire world.

Now Elizabeth directly made this person the deputy prime minister of the Privy Council, not only to show the attitude of the old nobles, but also to prepare to cut off the excessive influence of foreign forces on Russia.

Liu Yu doesn't care, he likes to deal with rational people, the more rational and profit-oriented the better.

An alliance made out of admiration, fanaticism, or love will never be stable.Only interests can unite the feelings between countries.

When Dashun woke up from his sleep and began to become a member of modern world history, Russia's alliance partners in Europe were destined to be bound to China.

Otherwise, it would be a four-nation anti-Russian alliance of Turkey, China, Sweden, and Austria.

And the King of England's "Land of Prosperity" is in Hannover, and it is also destined that Britain will not look far away and seek distant Russia as an ally. It will inevitably draw Prussia, which can threaten Hannover at any time, and at the same time looks very capable.

Prussia, in turn, can use Hanover as a weight to threaten Britain; and Britain can also use the alliance with Russia to intimidate Prussia in return.

Bestuyev was anti-Prussian and pro-British.

But unfortunately, you can only choose one of the two.

When Dashun was about to end in World War I, and once it showed strong hostility to Britain, Russia had only one rational choice left, dismembering Prussia, dismembering Poland, and moving westward and southward.

However, this situation also requires a Dashun diplomatic show.

If the acting is done, Dashun's diplomacy is considered to be a graduate, at least a pass.

The so-called pass is to use all the means of strategists to promote the alliance of China, France and Russia.

Now, judging from Elizabeth’s appointment, Elizabeth is a rational monarch; although Bestuyev is a bit pro-British and fanatical, as long as Dashun has more activities, once the United Kingdom is united, Russia will only be left with the Sino-French-Russian alliance This is chosen.

Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, Elizabeth's appointment completely reassured the nobles who were sitting on the fence.

Even if the whole coup is over here, Elizabeth's handling is very sophisticated, as expected of someone who has been preparing for the coup for more than ten years.

Asking the Privy Council to try Osterman made it clear that he was ignoring the rest of the past and letting Osterman take the blame alone.

The appointment of Bestuyev means that there will be no purge of the "false positions" of the previous office.

As for the containment, balance, and layout of the future court, these are all things to consider in the future.

What the nobles present have to consider now is that they should declare their allegiance immediately - most of them are mediocre and incompetent, and they don't think so much or so far-reaching.

Afterwards, Elizabeth sent someone to inform the nobles and nobles in Petersburg to go to Duke Menshikov's residence and the residence of the Dashun Mission to meet the Queen.

The enthronement ceremony needs to be prepared, but because Liu Yu proposed to attend the celebration of Ivan VI on the 29th, the palace has already made some preparations in advance.In this way, the enthronement ceremony can be held within a month, which will not delay Liu Yu's trip back to the Netherlands to do things.

He is in a hurry.

Before Bestuyev really came to power and started preparing the pro-British treaty, he had to return to the Netherlands and prepare for the next coup d'état.

Although it was just an excuse and a deception to say that he would participate in the enthronement ceremony of Ivan VI, it just happened to be used now.

In any case, he had to attend Elizabeth's coronation ceremony before leaving, otherwise it would be a bit of a diplomatic insult.Women, no matter how rational they are, they are more emotional.

At this time, the Dashun Mission is no longer the master of the Menshikov Duke's residence.Liu Yu didn't want to make noise, so he politely stepped aside, waiting quietly for the nobles from Petersburg to come here to swear allegiance.

The reason why he chose this place instead of the imperial palace was because Liu Yu's banquet invited many distinguished nobles.By the way, it is more convenient to explain the situation here first. Anyway, there is only a river across the palace, not far away.

Soon, the nobles from outside began to pour in one after another, and the soldiers of the Dashun Mission also cooperated with the Russians to maintain order and defend.

After the nobles called Ulla three times, Elizabeth also naturally began to appoint officials and make wishes.

The elders who have been supported by the dragon have all ascended to heaven. Hannibal, the Earl of Lestock, and others have all been awarded the rank of lieutenant general.In the Russian civil service system, this is equivalent to a third-class civil servant. If you switch to politics, you can directly take up posts in some non-key departments.

After all, the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held. When the enthronement ceremony is held, these people will definitely be formally promoted and conferred titles.

In view of the fact that Elizabeth wanted to show her "orthodox" identity, the coronation ceremony was scheduled for November, and the specific date would depend on the progress of the preparations.Because her father defeated Sweden in October and Russia was upgraded to an empire in November.

Fortunately, there are previous preparations for Ivan VI. The time is not very tight, and the ministers and ambassadors of various countries are also in Petersburg because of the war of the succession of the Austrian throne, so there is no need to notify. The enthronement ceremony can be completed in November.

It wasn't until these problems were resolved and Elizabeth announced that everyone was going to the palace, that she took another look at Liu Yu, and her vigilance was much higher.

However, he still greeted Liu Yu with a smile on his face. Since it was inconvenient for ambassadors from various countries to participate in Russia's internal affairs, only Russian nobles, big and small, went to the palace this time.

After a busy day, before taking a break, someone repeated to Elizabeth the story of Emperor Huan of Han that Liu Yu told at Duke Menshikov's mansion.

After hearing the story, Elizabeth couldn't help frowning.

This coup d'état was really like running like clouds and flowing water. Although Elizabeth had considered it in advance, given the previous anger and resentment, the coup should still be very easy.

But after Liu Yu got off the field, he directly engaged in a perfect one-stop service.

Even the enthronement ceremony was prepared in advance—it was said to be for Ivan VI, but from the very beginning Liu Yu had no intention of recognizing this milk baby—it was like the Dashun envoys wanted to kill people, It can also fool the victim into digging his own pit.

Dashun has done so much for this, why does he always want something?

land?

boundary?

or something else?
Even if Liu Yu said that he wanted to sleep with her, Elizabeth could feel at ease, at least she knew what she wanted here.

The more you give, the more you want.

But now, he couldn't figure out what Liu Yu wanted here.

Thinking of this, she called someone to find Hannibal, and at the same time called the newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister of the Privy Council Bestuyev.

Facing Hannibal, she asked not as the czar, but as a family member: "Has Liu Yu told you? What exactly does he want?"

Hannibal thought about it for a while, and rejected Liu Yu's nonsense words such as "be a man who keeps his word" in his mind. This kind of person who can deceive Japan to the point of bleeding, will do it for the sake of speaking. Do you want to do such a big thing?

"Your Majesty, Liu Yu said that he wants a rational monarch who considers Russia's interests. In his eyes, Russia's interests are Poland, the Black Sea, westward, and southward. The only thing is not eastward. And I , has lived in China for a long time, and he hopes to pass on a real China through me to ensure that Russia can make a rational foreign policy."
