Xinshun 1730

Chapter 673 Unholy Holy Alliance
This reason directly penetrated Louis XV's last point of vigilance.

If so, then all Dashun's actions seemed particularly reasonable.

Both Russia and Russia are monarchy countries, so they can be reconciled.

With the Netherlands, there are not only ideological disputes between parliamentary system and absolute monarchy, but also conflicts of interests in Southeast Asia.

Britain, on the other hand, is the most capable of fighting in the non-absolute monarchy, and Emperor Dashun certainly hates it very much.

This can also explain why, according to the rumors, Liu Yu was furious at George Anson from England because of a trivial incident in Guangzhou.

Louis XV had a feeling of enlightenment and sudden enlightenment.

I thought to myself, yes, Liu Yu is a nobleman, and he is also a nobleman in a centralized state like Dashun, so he naturally stands with absolute monarchy.

He muttered the word "Holy Alliance" for a while, and felt that this word was more and more wonderful.

Europe had a Holy Alliance.

In 1538, pagan Turkey began to attack the Knights Hospitaller, defeating the pope's combined fleet.The Christian nations organized the Holy League and declared war on the heretics.

That's holy war.

Interestingly, at that time, the lily of France and the green crescent of Ottomans stood together, called a sacrilegious alliance.

With the 30 years of religious wars, the sanctity of religion has been greatly reduced.

The term "Holy Alliance" has not been mentioned for a long time.

Louis XV really didn't expect that after the Holy Alliance, France would once again stand with the heretics.

And this time, the camp in which France is in is not humiliated as the "Sacrilege Alliance", but the justifiable "Holy Alliance".

According to legend, Louis XV has a famous saying.

"After I die, the flood will be overwhelming."

There are different interpretations of this sentence, and only a few words need to be added in the middle.

The original text is similar to classical Chinese, lacking some grammatical structures of the vernacular, so it can be used freely.

"After I die, who cares about the flood?"

"After I die, there will be a flood."

It's almost the same as "the people can make it happen", it's not about the words themselves, but about how to explain them, the meaning is completely different.

"After I die, even if the flood is overwhelming."If understood in this way, Louis XV is Yang Guang.

But if "after my death, there will be floods to the sky", understood in this way, it means that Louis XV has already seen that the bourgeois class is likely to make the Bourbon royal family flood.

Liu Yu's "Holy Alliance" really hit what Louis XV was most worried about.

Because in the French aristocratic circles and upper circles, the criticism of the word "sacred" has reached the point where it cannot be suppressed.

Louis XV must have known about Voltaire.

Voltaire was talking about Britain and Dashun all day long.

Knowing that Britain "there is no freedom at all on the land of Britain, and the powerful speculators and swindlers in Britain dominate", they still use Britain as the "Utopia" and make up a perfect Britain, let them The fabricated British political system and customs greatly attracted the French bourgeoisie and the masses.

Knowing that Dashun is the pinnacle of the feudal dynasty, he still used Dashun as the "Utopia" and fabricated a perfect Dashun. The political system and customs of Dashun that he invented greatly affected Attracted the French bourgeoisie and the masses.

The so-called, the starting point is good, for the sake of enlightenment, facts are not important, what is important is enlightenment and awakening.

Anyway, you have heard of Utopia, but you have never seen it, and most of you have never been abroad, so just make it up, and no one will expose it.

Now that Liu Yu took the initiative to bring up the matter of the Holy Alliance, Louis XV also had to ask some of his long-standing doubts.

"Mr. Marquis, I am very interested in what you said about the Holy Alliance, and I agree very much."

"I'm very curious about how your country achieves the god-given power of the king, and I am the country?"

He took out a booklet from the bookcase in the small conference room.

This pamphlet was written by Voltaire and passed to the court through the salon of a certain nobleman.

Louis XV turned to a certain page and asked Liu Yu suspiciously.

"Voltaire said: China's newspapers are the most reliable and useful newspapers in the world. None of them. In the newspapers, the demands of the people are recorded in detail, and officials will listen to the demands of the people, their hopes, and their vision for the country. , and registered and published in newspapers."

"Voltaire said: In 1728, your country fought against Russia, and the queen gave money to poor women over 70 years old. In Guangdong province alone, there were 70 poor women over 98220 years old. Those over 80 years old , there are 40893 people. There are 3453 people over a hundred years old."

"Voltaire said: China can count every population, including their annual income, expenditure, age, and family size. Their appeals to the country, expectations of the government, and complaints against officials..."

"I really want to know, how does your country achieve 'I am the country' when even the population of over 70 in a province can be counted to single digits, and even the demands of every citizen can be met?"

Louis XV did not deliberately humiliate Liu Yu, nor did he embarrass Liu Yu, he really believed Voltaire's words.

I feel that Dashun is simply invincible. The population and age structure of each province can be counted to single digits; by the way, the newspapers can also make detailed statistics on the demands and expectations of the people.

And such a country can still be the country and have unlimited monarchy.

This... This is considered to be Jesus himself coming to be the king, right?

Louis XV asked sincerely, full of envy, and as a "peer in the circle", he had endless admiration and admiration for Emperor Dashun.

If it is really done as written in the pamphlet, it is really beyond the not-so-pathetic imagination of Louis XV.How did an absolute monarchy achieve this level?
Could it be said that the emperors of Dashun are really like those aristocratic salons said, every emperor must be a "philosopher king"?
After listening to Louis XV's words, Liu Yu felt that Louis XV was just looking for trouble. He was slapping his mouth, mocking himself, disgusting himself, and humiliating Dashun.

He didn't blush, Dashun was the pinnacle of the feudal monarchy, Liu Yu knew it well.Even if it was ironic, it couldn't be satirized on him. He didn't feel that he was a Dashun person at all. He was wearing the noble skin of a Dashun, and he was thinking all day about how to end the Li family dynasty.

But during this kind of negotiation, what Louis XV said made Liu Yu very depressed.

Xin Dao said that if you want to be sarcastic, just say it directly.The rhetoric of the Holy Alliance, I am trying to fool you, but you can't be so disgusting with me, can you?

Dashun has this level?Dashun has this level, not to mention other things, he has already earned [-] million yuan a year - what he doesn't know is that Voltaire believes that the financial revenue of China's treasury is [-] million taels of treasury silver every year.

What kind of grassroots organizational capability is this?
As far as the legendary "Baoqin" is concerned, at most Qinchuan can have such grassroots organizational capabilities within eight hundred miles.Leaving Qinchuan eight hundred miles away, it is conceivable that a player like Xiang Liang, who is sure to catch the cracked car, can chat and laugh happily with the prefect of Kuaiji.

Dashun is even worse. It is not bad to be able to make detailed statistics on the old Shaanxi and Henan veterans and Liangjiazi descendants of Liehou who are the basic base.

One is to ask sincerely.

One is that the opposite person feels weird and ironic.

Even if the two of them didn't talk about it, it would make Liu Yu feel that Louis XV's suggestion of this "Holy Alliance" was a joke.

Liu Yuxin said that this is not right, then he said that when he talked about the bourgeois issue, Louis XV, as a feudal ruler and a beneficiary of French centralization, should be equally vigilant.

Is it possible that the ideological dispute I mentioned, in the eyes of Louis XV, is not enough to explain why he is anti-British?
Although the reason why I am anti-British is because the power of British industrial capital and the colonial market have nothing to do with the so-called Bill of Rights—even Dashun is a constitutional monarchy, which is not much different from the British ideology , British industrial capital is absolutely opposed to Dashun's goods entering the British and North American colonies.

But how could Louis XV have such a worldview?How is it possible to understand the contradictions among the industrial capitals of various countries?How can it be understood that Dashun urgently needs hard currency and precious metals now, and relies on inflation to promote the concentration of rich capital in industries instead of land and cellars?
Is it possible that this Louis XV is still a master without showing his face?

When one hears a sincere compliment as sarcasm, that is itself a form of sarcasm.

Fortunately, Louis XV was puzzled by Liu Yu, and asked again: "Mr. Marquis, how much of Mr. Voltaire's introduction to China is true?"

Louis XV himself did not believe that all these words were true.

Liu Yu raised his head slowly, not knowing how to answer.

Later generations commented on Voltaire's historical level, calling it "as a relatively personal understanding, he did not even refer to a large number of books to clarify the details, but tried to provide an outline of the world."

This statement is very emotional.

In other words, "the history he wrote, without reference books, without clarifying the details, is all made up."

Not to be mentioned by later generations, the contemporary Montesquieu said that Voltaire "wrote history with the intention of promoting his own sect, that is, promoting his non-religious religion".

Utopia is not a heaven on earth, nor a heaven, so it is not a religion.But the way he propagandizes has a strong religious flavor. That is not an utopia, it is heaven, so it is called a non-religious religion.

Liu Yu respected Voltaire very much, but was very disgusted with this "enlightenment" method of making up nonsense.At this time, Louis XV asked Liu Yu to make some comments, but Liu Yu really couldn't comment.

After the embarrassment, Liu Yu had no choice but to say something disheartened.

"Your Highness, if that is true, then there will be no Holy Alliance between China and France."

"The philosopher-king, as a sovereign, needs no additional, irrational sanctification."

"Because it's not holy enough, we need to form a holy alliance."

"As for his introduction to China...do you believe in Atlantis?"
