Chapter 772 France Was Pitted by Allies

A group of Dutch people stared wide-eyed and had no choice but to sigh.

They didn't know how Dashun was going to end the war, nor how Dashun was going to deal with the future world trade.

Regardless of whether Dashun can eat alone or not, it has nothing to do with them.

If they can't eat it, they can only stare at it, and they won't get half of the benefits.At most, it's a happy heart: deserve it, eat alone, shit!Tell you not to cooperate with us.But it's useless to feel happy, they can't earn money.

And Qi Guogong, who uttered wild words and boasted endlessly at the banquet, was also a little nervous after returning to his residence.

Now Dashun and Holland are afraid of both sides.

The Netherlands is certainly afraid of Dashun eating alone.

Dashun was also afraid that Holland would not cooperate with Dashun.

At today's banquet, although it was heard that the Dutch could no longer sit still, they began to take the initiative to contact, revealing the meaning of cooperation in the future.

However, things here are not so simple.

Although Kouhai said that he wanted to eat alone, and even though Kouhai said that the heaven and earth had everything, but in fact, the people sent by Dashun had some knowledge of the outside world, and they knew that it was wishful thinking for Dashun to eat alone.

Today's goal was to frighten the Dutch and lower their expectations, so that Dashun could take the greater initiative in future negotiations.

But I was afraid that they would frighten them too much, so that these people would really dare not contact Dashun.

We still have to count on these people to come forward to overthrow the Orange family and establish a government that is not pro-British.

Although Qi Guogong had done some homework before he came, he also knew that when dealing with these Xiyi people, he still couldn't know himself well after all.He also knew that he was helping his son-in-law this time, so he had to ask his staff more about many things.

After going back to sober up and wash up, he called Kang Bushao and asked, "Zhongxian, Shou Chang said that he would cooperate with these Dutch people at the right time and let these people come forward to contact France. But Looking at it now, the Netherlands is a mess."

"Food prices are soaring, investment is collapsing, and foreign wars are losing streak. If they are asked to overthrow the Orange family at this time, it is obviously impossible. Now the ruling position is a hot potato, and no one is willing to take it."

"As usual, if we want to cooperate with the Dutch, although we are one of them, it seems that we have the first opportunity, but in the end we still have to look at the situation in Europa. In the end, we still have to look at the attitude of the French. If the French can speak first He said that as long as these people overthrow the Orange family, they will be treated leniently with the Netherlands. Since the Dutch people are eager to end the war, they may support it."

"But if the French don't nod, it will be difficult. We occupy Nanyang, and we only talk about the deterrent to the Netherlands. Instead, it is better not to occupy."

"If you don't take the time, I'll take the lead. As usual, just one word scares the governor of Batavia so that he doesn't dare to slaughter. Now that we have taken advantage of it, our words are of no use."

Kang Bushao also knew the transformation, just as Dashun occupied the Netherlands in Nanyang to cooperate with the Netherlands, the transformation of contradictions is wonderful.After Dashun took over Nanyang, speaking in Holland was like a waste of time.

"What the Duke said is very true, but I think we can just wait quietly at this time. Don't worry, I think the general trend is still beneficial to us."

"The French are arrogant now, and they don't want to let the Netherlands go easily. However, when Emperor Taizu hibernated in Shangluo, if he asked all the land to seal the border as the king of the Northwest, Chongzhen himself would not agree. Who knows that after a few years, he asked Hanged from a crooked neck tree?"

"Now it seems that although France has an advantage, it is actually in danger. A truce at this time is in the best interest. He is neither willing...the so-called full moon will lose money, and the water will overflow. The French still cannot see the crisis after all."

Having discussed the situation in Europe with Liu Yu many times, Kang Bushao still has some opinions on this. He also knows that Liu Yu had already started digging holes in France during the Anglo-Spanish War.Now that so many years have passed, the effect should gradually appear.

…………

There is a saying that there is more than one who forgets to hold back his hands behind him, and wants to turn back when there is no future.

The French made great strides in Europe, and the Dashun Mission did not go to France at this time to be doused in cold water. It just stayed silently in Amsterdam and waited for the situation to change.

The advantage of the French in Europe is already full of crises.

On August 8, Prussia unilaterally made peace with Britain and the Netherlands. Britain recognized Prussia's sovereignty over Silesia and announced that if Austria did not go to fight France and still fight Prussia, it would cut off its aid.

Earlier, at the beginning of the year, Charles VII, the elector of Bavaria and the crowned Holy Roman Emperor, died.

Before he died, he understood that he had no money, no soldiers, and no strength.Only to be pushed out by the French, Prussians and a whole bunch of minor HRE nations against the Habsburg banner.

So before he died, he repented endlessly and told his son to give up the struggle for the throne of Shenluo and make peace with Austria.France cursed loudly, but after all, this was an internal matter of Shinra. Although the French were angry, they were helpless.

Even now the Austrians are still unwilling to give up for the sake of Silesia, claiming that even without the assistance of Britain and the Netherlands, they will shake and beat until the Prussians spit out Silesia.

However, the Austrians have been moved.He also ran into Frederick II, a military genius who was once seen in Europe once in a hundred years. If he fought a few more games, he would have to pinch his nose to recognize him.

And in the farther north, since the end of the war against Sweden, Russia has been entrenched in the north, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

Waiting for Britain and France to offer a high enough price.But in fact, Russia is more inclined to help Britain.

This has nothing to do with the previous alliance between France and Ottoman. It is mainly because the Russian Empress inherited Peter's ambition to go west, and the suppression of Prussia is the top priority.

Now that Prussia and France are standing together, Russia is already dissatisfied.In addition, France is poor. Although the Marquis of La Chettadi helped Elizabeth to ascend to power, friendship belongs to friendship and politics belongs to politics.The British directly opened the way with pounds and told Russia to prepare an army of 30. The British hired each soldier at a price of [-] taels of silver a year to help the British guard Hanover.

France, on the other hand, can only talk about France's help to Elizabeth and the past lovers' friendship, but they can't give so much money.

What's more, Russia's timber is exported to Britain in large quantities, earning pounds to spend.French fur is not bought or mentioned, and even the fur business is robbed by the Russians - Canadian fur has severely hit the Russian fur trade.Moreover, the sables in Siberia have already been caught almost, and they have to go to the Heilongjiang River Basin to catch them. The virgin forests in Canada have not been touched for many years, but there are still many.

It seems that France is now very beautiful, but they don't know that after the flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking oil, it is often a big crisis.

And outside of Europe.

The layout that Liu Yu started many years ago has finally shown its effect.

…………

India.

When Dashun was cutting melons and vegetables in Nanyang, Duplex was in disgrace in India.

When Britain and Spain went to war because of the smuggler Jenkins, France did not expect that Dashun's seemingly inadvertent diplomatic move would bring so much trouble to French India.

Not long after Dashun declared war on the Netherlands in the spring, George Anson's fleet was ecstatic, knowing that it was impossible for Dashun to fight the Netherlands and Britain at the same time.

After learning that the cities of the East India Company in India were besieged by the French, and after confirming that Dashun would not declare war on Britain, George Anson led the fleet headed by the Centurion, and peacefully crossed the territory controlled by Dashun. Strait of Malacca, into India.

During the Lingdingyang incident, Liu Yu insulted George Anson a lot.But in the face of strength, especially when he saw several battleships of Dashun straddling the Strait of Malacca, George Anson still ordered his fleet to lower its flag to salute Dashun's navy.

During the berthing at Lingdingyang, George Anson added a lot of Chinese sailors and got very good supplies.This gave him a great advantage in Luzon. Not only did he intercept two treasure ships coming from Mexico, he also captured Manila for a time.

Sufficient supplies, and there is no historical situation where two-thirds of his fleet died due to scurvy. In addition, there are supplements from Chinese sailors. George Anson's fleet is strong and strong.

On the Indian side, Duplex did initially gain the upper hand, launching a siege of the British-occupied city.

The British army in Madras was really vulnerable.Coupled with the lease of the two cruise ships of Dashun, Duplex has the command of the sea and has a great advantage.

However, at Fort St David, near Pondicherry, young Clive also stood out.

With Clive's qualifications, he needs some opportunities to stand out.

However, his somewhat legendary choice of "getting the opportunity to work in a Chinese business house, but giving up the opportunity to actively join the Indian army" made the officers of the local army appreciate this bold and adventurous young man and let him go early. Served as adjutant and standard bearer.

Colonel Ginger Lawrence, the chief garrison of Fort St. David, wanted to lead troops to support after learning of the French plan to attack Madras.

However, Clive offered a strategy of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao", thinking that it is meaningless to support now, and he is likely to be ambushed by the French halfway.

Fort St. David is very close to the local government. It is an important stronghold of the French in India. It is better to make a siege of Pondicherry and attract the French to return.

If the French return to aid, they can buy time and return to Fort St. David to hold on.The company has sent a letter to General George Anson in Luzon. As long as we can buy time and let George Anson's fleet arrive, the French will undoubtedly lose.

Once the plan of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" was put forward, Ginger Lawrence paid more attention to this young man, so he adopted this plan, pulled all the soldiers from Fort St. David out, and marched towards Pondicherry, which was very close.

Duplex made a very bad decision and chose to divide his forces at Madras.Some continued in Madras, and the other returned to Pondicherry.
