Xinshun 1730

Chapter 657 Glorious Restoration

This is an organized, very consistent operation involving external forces.

When petitions broke out in Groningen and other places, the Orange Manor in Friesland also received outside news.

For them, this is good news.

However, Earl Bentinck still yelled at Liu Yu for being shameless.

Secret news had come from the west two days before, and the English had first told the Orangemen the great news.

Prussia and Austria, accepted British mediation.Austria will cede Silesia to Prussia, and Prussia will withdraw from the war and abandon the Franco-Prussian alliance of "no separate peace".

And the United Kingdom will give Austria a surprise: I will pay 10 million taels of silver, which is 60 pounds, to go abroad to fight against France.

And promised that Britain would send a 2-strong force to land in Hannover to fight against France together.

The situation really changed suddenly as expected by Dashun's staff.

Austria, which was originally facing the fate of dismemberment, not only survived, but the battlefield situation was extremely favorable to the Austrians.

Originally, the main field army of Austria led by Earl Kefenschler was encircled by the French, Prussian, and Pakistani armies in Munich, and was in danger.

Once this legion is destroyed, the gates of Vienna will be wide open, and there will be no soldiers or danger to defend. In a short period of time, it will be impossible to recruit another army, and there will be no time to transfer all the legions from Italy.

However, the Prussians accepted Silesia, turned their backs on their French allies, gave up Bohemia, and were about to fall back to Silesia.

This advance and retreat is not just a matter of a Prussian army with 3 or [-] people.

Rather, it meant that the flanks of the French Prague Legion were wide open, from being surrounded to being surrounded in an instant.With Prussia outflanking, the Austrian army could directly encircle the lone French army in Prague.

The Austrian army can encircle Prague, and the French army stationed in the Austrian Netherlands can only go eastward with all its strength to rescue the French Prague army.

It could have threatened the Netherlands, forced the Netherlands to be cautious, and could not officially support the transfer of the French Netherlands Legion in Austria. The Netherlands has enough confidence and can support Austria.

Prussia withdraws from the war, and Britain does not have to worry about Hannover being occupied by Prussia.Originally, the British were quite dissatisfied with shedding British blood and spending British money for Hanover.But now, this is not to protect Hanover, but to do France, and the British Parliament will fully support it.

In short, the subsequent changes brought about by these 3 people have completely reversed the situation.

There is no threat around the Netherlands. Once Britain sends troops and gives money, France will be unable to support it alone.

The Netherlands, who had to submissively show favor to France before, should stand up at this time and declare war on France!

Whoever seizes the opportunity will win the prestige, because now it seems that declaring war on France will win.

The British first quietly told the Orange faction this news, because the British were sure that the Parliament faction also had brains.If they knew the news that Prussia was about to withdraw from the war, they would definitely hold high the banner of "integrity, anti-fa, words and deeds", and declare war on France.

At present, the petitions, demonstrations, and incitement of dissatisfaction with the current parliamentary faction that broke out almost on the same day in various places in the seven provinces are of course a good thing for the Orange faction.

But even if it was such a good thing, thinking that it must have something to do with Liu Yu behind it, Earl Bentinck and other core figures felt as disgusted as if they had eaten flies.

Throwing the published newspapers on the table heavily, Earl Bentinck couldn't help cursing: "Our Lord Marquis, what the hell is he doing? Is he venting his grievances before leaving? Trying to destroy us with the chance of a great Prussian victory?"

There is information gap between the two sides.

Earl Bentinck was sure that Liu Yu could not have known about the mediation of the Paumi Treaty earlier than they did, because they had just learned about it, and Queen Teresa had just let go.

But he forgot to consider one thing, that is Liu Yu's other bright face in Amsterdam. The core of that face is rationality, logic, reasoning, experience, induction, summary, short for science and math.

If an experienced farmer sees the burning clouds in the evening, he will always know that the next day will be sunny; if an experienced child sees ants moving on the road, he will always know that it will rain soon.

If one has read a lot of Chinese history books, seen the alliances and internal struggles of the Eighteenth Route princes, and carefully read the events of the Spring Banner, Warring States, and Eastern Zhou Dynasties, he will always know that Prussia will definitely not be a thug for France—kill Austria and change to France Put your hand fully into Shinra.

Driving tigers and wolfs away is a technical job.If you don't play well, you will lure wolves into your house.The Prussians knew that.

Because Earl Bentinck was convinced that Liu Yu didn't know about Puomiyue, it was disgusting for Liu Yu to do so.

Dashun itself and France are allies, to the point where Dashun buys French woolen cloth at a high price for military uniforms.A few days ago, I made a big blow about Prussia. It seems that the military exchanges between Prussia and Dashun are also good.

After playing Prussia, he suddenly launched an attack, using the introduction of tribute, investigation and trade to stir up emotions. This is obviously revenge.

The person who must take revenge is that Liu Yu came to the Orange faction to discuss the coup and betrayal of the country.

Count Bentinck thought so.

Why do you say this is a grudge that must be avenged?

Because without knowing the background of the Pu-Austria peace talks, the seat of the Consul is like a big powder keg filled with gunpowder.Sitting on it will explode.

Now that the emotions have been stirred up, if the people insist on pushing the Orange faction to power, they have to.Otherwise, the prestige will be wiped out, and there will be no chance to get on in the future.

Fortunately, the Pu'ao peace talks have been made, otherwise, wouldn't it be a trick for the Orange faction before leaving?

Count Bentinck thought to himself, Liu Yu is really a narrow-minded person.Just because I came here to discuss the traitorous free trade before, my side didn't agree, and the two sides broke up unhappy, and I wanted to do this before I left.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sighed again.

He sighed, and the people next to him also sighed: "We should have been wary of him a long time ago. We should know his character, he is the kind of person who will definitely retaliate if he has grievances."

"Just like what he did in Lingdingyang, just because George Anson didn't lower the flag, he showed disrespect to him. He supported a warship of the Stuart family and a batch of muskets for the Indians in North America .We should have known."

"Britain is in chaos, and he will not benefit at all. But in his words, whoever makes him unhappy for a while will make him unhappy forever."

"His revenge is pure, free from low-level interest entanglements, completely emotional without considering benefits."

Looking at it now, some of Liu Yu's actions seem to be true, especially the revenge against the UK, because it seems to be a big deal, it seems meaningless, because there is no conflict of interest between Dashun and the UK.The earliest conflict occurred in the former dynasty more than a hundred years ago.

"I heard that in the scientific seminar he held, he said more than once that he would go to Versailles soon. The French side has prepared everything according to the tedious court etiquette, and set a time for the audience. It's mid-July."

"Obviously, he was leaving the Netherlands. Before he left, he took malicious revenge on us because he wasn't here and got what he wanted - free trade."

"Without his knowledge of Puomiyo, what he did was absolutely vicious."

"Anthony, the speaker, insisted on the bottom line, insisted on the interests of the republic, and did not accept free trade. Therefore, he wants to get the speaker down before he leaves!"

"His Royal Highness William insisted on the bottom line and the interests of the republic, and did not cooperate with him. Therefore, before he left, he set His Royal Highness William on fire, inciting ignorant citizens, and forcing His Royal Highness William to accept the position of consul. And if Puao did not reach a secret agreement, His Highness William would not be able to accept the position of Consul, which would make His Highness William embarrassing."

"The heart of this kind of person is even more vicious than a poisonous snake!"

"The most vicious witch can't compare with his dark, narrow and ugly heart."

After the scolding, the faces of all the people present were dripping with cold sweat.

This is when Puao reached a secret agreement, and the situation is completely different.The greatest foundation of these vicious schemes: the Franco-Prussian alliance, no longer exists.

However, now that I think about it, what if the Prussian-Austrian alliance has not been reached?
What will happen today?
Now, at this moment, His Highness William can take advantage of the situation, accept the position of consul, declare war on France, and fight this battle that must be won.

But if the Puome agreement fails, how will His Royal Highness William face the expectant, fanciful, and instigated Dutch people?
When he started the publication, no one cared.I feel that this is a rich and powerful person who is borrowing newspapers to promote oriental culture. He has nothing to do and spends money casually, subsidizing the price of the brochure so low.

On the whole, the content is both vulgar and elegant. Occasionally, there are a few "Dutch jokes" in each issue, which is not harmful. This level of irony can be used as a joke in leisure time on weekdays, and it can also be used as a pastime at noble balls.

No one would have thought that this small newspaper, which is often vulgar in content, is actually for... for revenge.

Thinking about the lingering fear of coming to Europe and going to Petersburg to make a big news, looking at this incident is simply full of viciousness.I'm afraid it's him who came here, so I've considered that if free trade can't be achieved, some people's futures will be ruined.

After wiping off the cold sweat and feeling flustered, these members of the Orange faction finally let out bursts of laughter, mocking Liu Yu's behavior in many ways.

I have said a lot, but if it is summed up in Chinese, it is about "people plan things, and heaven makes things happen. If heaven is not perfect, what's the use of all your wits and tricks?"

The seemingly seamless vicious revenge seems to have become a joke now.

Earl Bentinck raised his glass and said with a smile: "We should thank the Marquis, his revenge has fulfilled us. If it weren't for his deliberate revenge, how could the people expect His Royal Highness William to become the ruler at this critical time?" Where is the officer?"

"Respect to the marquis who will take revenge! Respect, consul of the seven provinces, our Royal Highness Prince of Orange! Hoera!"

The Orange faction present raised their glasses and shouted together: "Hoera!"

The deformed and stooped William tried his best to sit up straight with a smile on his face.

After his subordinates shouted long live three times, he was full of pride.

"March to Amsterdam!"
