Xinshun 1730

Chapter 641
Soon after the hunting secret meeting, the Tsar's coronation ceremony was officially held.

After attending the enthronement ceremony, Liu Yu did not stop in Russia at all, but ran away as quickly as possible.

Because he was the host of the coup, he and the courts of various countries staggered a perfect time difference.

All European countries were shocked by the coup in Russia.

There are surprises, joys, and worries.

Also because of the sudden coup d'état in Russia, he had to discuss in the court how to negotiate with Russia.

All countries basically have envoys stationed in Russia in Petersburg, but it is impossible for the envoys to complete the negotiations by themselves.

At least you have to get an order from the court to guide the direction of the talk.

The coup took place on October 10, and the courts of various countries basically got the news at the end of November, and the coronation ceremony had already been held at that time.

The personnel sent by the courts of various countries flew to Petersburg with the instructions of their respective courts.

Things in Russia will continue to be chaotic for a while. After completing the Dutch coup and visiting France, they will come to Russia again.

But now, it's time to leave.

There is not much time left for him, and there are at most three or four months before Europe will know what kind of person the tsar who is now in power is.

At least, not a sensual woman, but would coolly take advantage of Russia.

Once the countries know the situation and analyze the situation, it will be more difficult for Liu Yu to catch up with the next coup in the Netherlands.

It is true that the Marquis of La Schettadi contributed a lot to this coup, and it is true that Elizabeth received a French education since she was a child.

However, Russia is very sober, and the enemy of Russia's westward advance is Prussia.

And now, the Franco-Prussian alliance.

I'm afraid that Russia will hook up with Britain soon, and once it hooks up with Britain, the Netherlands will soon.

Moreover, there is another very uncontrollable factor... that is the reputation of Frederick II.

Frederick II didn't want France to reach out too much to Germany. Once Silesia is obtained, or the mediation of the United Kingdom is reached, Prussia is likely to withdraw from the war and directly give up the flanks of the French coalition forces.Don't look at the covenant between France and France that "not to make peace with the enemy alone", the covenant is useless, it is used to tear it up.

At that time, I am afraid that the Dutch parliamentarians will also come to their spirits: Oh, it turns out that Russia is anti-Prussian, not fully pro-French;
Without William coming to power, this parliamentary faction will send troops in good spirits to take advantage of it.

If that's the case, there will be extra problems and more troubles.

As for Liu Yu, he was really at ease about the "diplomatic credibility" of Frederick the Great.This kind of thing can definitely be done.The smoother the anti-Austrian coalition forces fight, the greater the possibility of Prussia running away, so we have to guard against it.

Hurrying back to Amsterdam, the New Year of 1742 has already passed.

News of the Russian coup had reached Amsterdam long ago.

When Liu Yu entered the port of Amsterdam again, this time the speaker of the Dutch Interprovincial Parliament came to the port to greet Liu Yu in person.

The news of the Russian coup had a huge impact on the Netherlands, and it also prompted the Dutch Federal Parliament to be more cautious.

When Great Speaker Anthony greeted Liu Yu, his expression was more worried than before.

After the French got the news of the Russian coup, their attitude towards the Netherlands almost took a 180-degree turn.

The first battle in Prussia was not very beautiful.France itself has no idea.

The Netherlands is rich and is the big donor of the whole of Europe, so the inter-provincial parliament is a fool, and France is also smiling.

The Inter-Provincial Assembly said we supported Austria because we had signed the treaty and we were only fulfilling the treaty.So properly support some troops and money, please don't care about France.

However, following the news of the Russian coup, the group of people in the Palace of Versailles immediately changed their faces, denouncing the Dutch for giving too much. .

This is quite different from the previous attitude, the back is obviously much harder than before.

Everyone in Europe knows that the current Empress Elizabeth of Russia was educated in France, and they all know the close relationship between the French ambassador and Elizabeth.

The relationship between them has always been good. At first, they thought the alliance was to deal with Russia, but now a "French-friendly" empress has been directly replaced by the government. Is this okay?

We all know that Dashun is a big and powerful country before, but it is too far away from Europe after all.If you have more than enough heart and not enough strength, it is impossible to stretch your hands and feet so long.

Who would have thought that after this group of people came to Europe, they would make an earth-shattering news?

And the method is even more simple and rude. Since the Sino-French alliance is to deal with Russia, then directly changing to a czar who is pro-French and pro-China will solve the symptoms and root causes?

The news of the Russian coup reached the Netherlands much earlier than the time when Liu Yu brought people back to the Netherlands.

The Inter-Provincial Council had sent someone to contact Kang Buxiu who was staying in Amsterdam, but Kang Buxiu kicked him away with very professional diplomatic rhetoric.

He said that he was not an official member of Dashun and had no official status at all.It is also said that Liu Yu is not only an official of the imperial court, but also the chief envoy of the mission to Europe this time, and another identity is a scholar engaged in scientific exchanges.

He can only represent Liu Yu's private identity, not Liu Yu's official identity.He stayed here, only responsible for chairing the upcoming scientific seminar in Amsterdam. As for foreign affairs and politics, he did not move and knew nothing.

The Netherlands has no choice but to look forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for Liu Yu to come back.

The trade negotiations with Dashun could no longer be delayed.

Dashun was too ruthless and directly staged a coup in a third country to gain a diplomatic advantage. No one knew what Dashun was going to do on the trade issue.

Originally thinking of procrastinating until European countries refused to open up tariffs, Dashun had no choice but to continue the past policy; when mercantilism prevailed, no one would think that Dashun could cut off trade foolishly and shut down by itself. door to door.

Those who close the door are all handicrafts in the country. How can it be said that almost one-way exporting countries voluntarily close the door?

However, with the sudden change in the current situation, I am afraid that Dashun is planning to join forces with France, Russia, and Prussia to force the Netherlands to sign a customs agreement by force.

Tariff agreements must never be signed.This point is the consensus of the upper echelons of the Netherlands. If a tariff agreement is signed and free trade is allowed, the Netherlands will explode.

VOC has lost the monopoly of administrative support, so why engage in free trade with Dashun, which monopolizes the supply of goods?

In the past, Dashun’s ships could not sail to Europe, but now not only merchant ships can go to Gothenburg, but official ships can also bring Cossacks to Petersburg to carry out a coup d’etat. Indian companies going bankrupt?

Originally, I wanted both face and liking.

Now it seems that I can only want the lining, not the face.

If it really doesn't work, they can only quickly accept Liu Yu's request for "reconnaissance and cooperation trade" and humiliate themselves as a legal tributary country.

Great Speaker Anthony was frowning, corresponding to Liu Yu who disembarked in high spirits.

The first sentence after the meeting, Liu Yu directly dropped a sentence.

"Your Excellency, Great Speaker, have you figured out how to talk about it? Or are you going to drag it on? Anyway, I have plenty of time."

"I still have the two requirements, you choose one. If you choose, you can talk; if you don't choose, I don't want to attend the boring and sleepy negotiations."

After hearing this, Anthony couldn't help smiling.

I didn't think that Dashun used some extreme methods before, but now it's different.Even a coup d'état can be carried out. If Dashun is pushed into a hurry, it's hard to say what will happen.

In Anthony's eyes, Liu Yu is a bit domineering, but he does have the capital to be domineering and domineering.

I really didn't expect Dashun's way to be so wild before. Is this still the impression that he was confused and didn't ask about things outside the world?

"Master Marquis, in fact, I also hope to reach negotiations as soon as possible. The situation in Europe is already chaotic enough. The Inter-Provincial Republic respects China very much, and looks forward to maintaining peace and normal trade with China."

"Negotiations always take time, however, and some details need to be hammered out."

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "I just want to ask one question, is it exploration and cooperation trade, or free trade under the tariff agreement?"

"If you tell me now that a tariff agreement and free trade are impossible, then I suggest shelving the trade negotiations for a month."

"I'm going to Friesland."

How could Great Speaker Anthony not know what Liu Yu was saying?

I thought this was a coup d'état to gain confidence, but the Netherlands is different from Russia.

Even William of the Orange family will never accept your request for an open customs agreement and free trade.

They themselves have shares in the East India Company, and even if William of the Orange family came to power, they would not dare to sign this agreement.

Russia relies on the nobility, and the Netherlands relies on merchants.

In Russia, as long as the nobility is dealt with, everything is dealt with.

In the Netherlands, if you dare to go against the interests of businessmen, even if Jesus Christ came to the world, he would not be able to sit firmly in the ruling position.

Hearing that Liu Yu was going to Friesland, Great Speaker Anthony said in his heart, you can go as you please.It is impossible for William to grant your request.

Now you are arrogant and full of momentum, thinking that the Netherlands can also solve the problem through a coup d'état.

But you are wrong.

Just in time, if you think so, talking to you now, your request must be outrageous, condescending, and use your stunning coup qualifications in Europe to scare us and threaten us.

It's better to let you go to Friesland first and talk to William, only to know that he can't agree to your request at all.

At that time, you will come to talk to me in despair.

Hmph, by then your arrogance will be gone, and you will no longer have the means to threaten us. It will be easier for you and me to talk.
