Chapter 139 Father Francia and the Half-Blood Prince (please subscribe, ask for a monthly pass)

Port of Marseille, France.

Amid the long whistling of the siren, it was accompanied by the clattering of the anchor and the loud sound of the bugle.Several Daming diplomats stationed in France on the shore looked at the luxury cruise ship in front of them with the flag of the Great Ming Sun and Moon with all smiles on their faces.

Next to these Ming diplomats, there is a group of blond and blue-eyed French officials. Oh, not all of them are blond, and there is also a mixed race with black hair and black eyes, delicate and white skin, and facial features that are not so three-dimensional. French officer.This French officer is not very old, only in his 30s, but the military rank on his uniform looks a bit scary, he is actually a marshal!

In addition, there is a very eye-catching medal hanging on his chest, and he is not an ordinary person at a glance.

"Great strategist, that is the Duke of Marseilles. It seems that Louis XVII will not come."

On the deck of the cruise ship that had just got off the anchor chain, Zhuge Weixue saw the "half-blood marshal" at a glance, and he seemed to know the half-blood marshal, and called him the Duke of Marseilles.

The Duke of Marseilles is a great man. His full name is Louis Philippe de Bourbon. He is the youngest son of Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. Born nine months after death.Although he looks like a half-breed, he doesn't bear any resemblance to Louis XVI.But because he had a very good relationship with Louis XVII, the eldest son of Louis XVII—Louis XVII was rescued together with Marie Antoinette, and was rescued by Zhuge Weijiu and He Shen to Vienna, the capital of Austria.

In the following 20 years, the two brothers Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille lived together under the fence, depended on each other, and worked together to restore the Bourbon Dynasty. The relationship was really deep to the extreme.

And Louis XVII was not a king of France who could only share adversity but not wealth. After he succeeded in restoration, he publicly announced that Louis Philippe de Bourbon was his half-brother, and he was canonized as Duke of Marseilles. He was also appointed as the Minister of the Navy of France, and awarded the rank of Admiral of the French Navy!

The Duke of Marseilles came to Marseilles from Versailles in person today, of course to welcome the old friend of the Queen Mother of France, Zhuge Wei, the most respected father of Louis XVII, for a long time.

Of course, Louis XVII knew that Zhuge Weijiu had an extraordinary friendship with his mother Marie Antoinette, but he would not forget who consistently supported him during his most difficult and desolate years , Give him money to spend. It can be said that without Zhuge Weijiu's support and money, Louis XVII would not have been able to maintain a decent life and support a large group of nobles and party members during the years when Napoleon roamed across the continent.

Therefore, after the restoration, Louis XVII officially bestowed on Zhuge Weijiu the title of "Francia Father", and built a Yafu palace for Zhuge Weijiu in Versailles.

Of course, no matter how grateful Louis XVII was to his sub-father, Zhuge, he would not dare to take France to stand on the Ming side .The restored Bourbon dynasty after the Napoleonic Wars can be said to have broken its spine and began to fear the British Empire from the bottom of its heart.

Napoleon was so good at fighting, and he was defeated by the British Empire. Does Bourbon, who was restored with the support of the British Empire, still want to fight against the British Empire?Don't dare!

Moreover, it is not only the Bourbon dynasty that "dare not", but also the majority public opinion in France.

Whether it is the Royalists, the Orleans Party, the Bonapartists or the Republicans, they are all "fearful of Britain"-it can be said that in this era of France, if anyone is not "fearful of Britain", then he (she) must be a foreigner .

Therefore, at the moment of fierce confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and the British Empire, Louis XVII felt very embarrassed about the visit of his dear Yafu, and he did not dare to go to the port of Marseilles to greet him in person, for fear of being misunderstood by the British Empire—of course, he could not Don't let Zhuge come for a long time.Because asking Ming Dynasty to send people to Versailles to hold a naval armament conference was originally the meaning of the British Empire.

Therefore, Louis XVII could only let his half-breed brother of the same father and mother come to Marseille to meet his sub-father.

Zhuge Weijiu exhaled, and said to Zhuge Weixue: "Brother 88, go and invite the Duke of Marseille to the boat. I want to have a good talk with him."

"Yes."

"Louis Philippe has met Yafu!"

Louis Philippe, the Duke of Marseilles, had already been brought onto the boat by Zhuge Weixue. In a cabin decorated in a very simple and elegant style, he respectfully bowed to Zhuge Weijiu who was sitting in the upper seat.

Although the Duke of Marseilles has never been to Daming, he can speak Chinese fluently, at least at the level of CET-[-]!So when he greeted Zhuge Weidao, he spoke Chinese directly.

Zhuge looked at his "half-blood son" of Louis XVI for a long time, and he naturally liked it. He and Louis XVI were also good brothers who entrusted their wives and sons. Son", maybe how happy it is!

"Sit, sit, little Louis, how is your mother?"

Zhuge Weijiu greeted the Duke of Marseille to sit down, and at the same time asked about the recent situation of the Queen Mother of France, Marie Antoinette.

"My mother is fine, it's just"

"Just what?" Zhuge Weijiu asked.

"It's just because of the issue of France's standing between Ming and Great Britain and the second brother (Louis XVII had an elder brother who died young) to get angry."

After hearing this for a long time, Zhuge burst out laughing and waved his hands again and again, "No need, no need"

The Duke of Marseille didn't understand, "Yafu, what's the matter?"

"You don't have to stand in line!" Zhuge Weijiu smiled, "Little Louis, although I, Da Ming, fought a battle with Da Ying in the coastal waters of Japan, it does not mean that the two countries will break up. Because the purpose of Da Ming's fight is only to The arrest of the drug smugglers Sassoon, Chadton, and Dindi is not intended to start a war with the British Empire."

"this."

The Duke of Marseille certainly didn't believe it, "Yafu, what are you talking about with Ali Pasha of Egypt? Now the British Empire has won over us France, as well as Rakshasa, Sweden, Austria, Prussia and other countries, and is preparing to form an eight-nation coalition There is a war with Turkey If Daming supports Turkey, then a big war is inevitable."

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and said, "Little Louis, who told you that my Ming Dynasty will stand with Turkey? In fact, my Ming Empire also supports the independence of Greece."

"What? Daming approves of Greek independence? Why?"

"Because the Greek War of Independence was actually a war against colonialism! Opposing colonialism is my consistent stand for Ming Dynasty."

Zhuge paused for Dao, and then said: "The Turkish Empire is already a dead bone in the tomb, and it can't be taken away. Ali Pasha of Egypt may still be able to take it away."

The Duke of Marseille was taken aback: "Yafu, what do you mean?"

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and said, "Da Ming believes that the Ottoman Empire must and must perish. Any effort to save and maintain the Ottoman Empire will be futile after all.

But the civilization of Tianfangjiao will not collapse because of the demise of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

And Egypt is becoming an emerging power that can maintain the glory of the Tianfang religion civilization... I hope your brother Louis XVII can join us in supporting the Egyptian governor Ali. "

"Yafu," the Duke of Marseille shook his head repeatedly, "The Egyptian army is currently fighting in Greece... Do you think they will withdraw because of the Ming Empire's stance against colonialism?"

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and said: "Little Louis, you have made the problem simple. The national policy of the Ming Empire has always been against colonialism... This is a national policy that the new Ming Empire has persisted in for more than a hundred years, and we will continue to adhere to it! We We are against Turkey's colonization of Greece, and against anyone colonizing the Cultist Middle East and North Africa, and we support the revival of the Arab Empire!"

The Duke of Marseille shook his head and said, "Yafu, but I think that the anti-colonialism policy is on the European side, and there are not many countries that support it at all..."
