Nanming: I can build wonders

The relationship between the two, with the death of Queen Mary at the end of 1694, Princess Anne is bound to become the Queen of England after William (Mary's children all died young), and the main conflict between William III, Anne and Churchill disappeared immediately.

Coupled with the fact that William III was in a difficult situation and really needed the support of Churchill's forces, the two finally reconciled and became friends.

"Churchill, let's go and meet Louis with me."

In the eyes of most people, this John Churchill Zhente is a talented person. He has a very good relationship with the former King James II, and now he is a good friend with James II’s deadly enemy William III, and he is also with the second daughter of Old James, Princess Anne Close relationship.

This is no longer stepping on two boats, but he has stepped on all boats!

When William III heard that Louis came out to greet him in person, he felt very proud. He walked into the gate of the marble courtyard with a smile. As he walked, he smiled and greeted Louis the Great in French: "Louis, it's nice to see you. Why did you call me from London in such a hurry? Could it be that the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire finally surrendered?"

Although the European coalition forces had achieved a complete victory in the war against the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire was still struggling to support itself and did not immediately admit defeat.
Because the price of admitting defeat is too great!
The Ottomans always believed that with Daming around, they couldn't lose.

Louis didn't want Osman to just admit defeat. He had a huge appetite. Not only did he want to recover all the lost lands in Austria and the Czech Republic, but he also wanted the entire Greater Hungary.

That's not the little Hungary of later generations, but the big Hungary that includes Slovakia, Croatia, and part of Romania and Ukraine!
However, Louis XIV's ambition may not be realized. On the European side, the soldiers are tired of the protracted and extremely intense war.

"William, you guessed it."

Louis' face was solemn, and he pulled William III towards the door of the king's suite, and said to his new "little brother", "Jed just came back, and he brought us good news. The Ming Emperor advocated an armistice, and he also A plan that is more beneficial to England and the Netherlands has been proposed."

"What plan?" William III asked hastily.

"He advocated the excavation of the Suez Canal in lieu of part of the Ottoman reparations."

"Dig the Suez Canal?

William III asked suspiciously, "Is it the canal connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea?"

If this canal had been dug 100 years earlier, it might not have been of great benefit to England, but now almost [-] to [-]% of the merchant ships on the western sea belong to England, and the other [-]% belong to the Netherlands!
And those "sea countries" in Italy have long since had no overseas trade.

Therefore, the huge benefits brought about by the shortening of the east-west routes can also be enjoyed by the English and the Dutch.

Otherwise, how could Britain and France sit together to dig the Suez Canal in future generations.

"Yes!"

Louis nodded, "We can get a quarter of the shares. If these shares are sold on the London exchange, how can they be worth several million pounds?"

"It must be worth that much!"

William III nodded while thinking in his mind how much benefit Britain and the Netherlands could gain from this feast.

Louis, William, Churchill, and Frankish Foreign Minister Jed have already entered the hall of the king's suite together.

At this time, Louis suddenly stopped and his face became more and more serious, "Brother William, are all the Yin people in your twelve states in North America okay?"

William III was stunned. He was not studying the Suez Canal. Why did he ask about the Yin people?
Is such a thing as Yin people worth mentioning in such a gentlemanly setting?
However, William III still replied truthfully: "The Yin people under our British rule are very good, and they have all gone where they should go."

It seems that the situation is not bad
Louis XIV's tense face finally showed a smile, and he asked with a smile, "Brother William, where did the Yin go?"

William III smiled harmlessly to humans and animals: "Hell! They have no soul, and of course they will go to hell after death!"

"Ah, killed them all?"

The smile on Louis' face froze.

The French did not kill the Yin people very much.

Of all the colonists in Europe, the French treated the Yin best.

The main purpose of the French coming to North America is similar to that of the British, mainly to do fur business, that is, beaver fur.

Beavers look a bit like voles. They have round heads, small eyes, chubby bodies, short limbs, flat tails, and thick fur.

Since it will be targeted by both the British and the French, it must have good economic value.

Almost all rare animals can't escape two things-delicious or precious fur or other parts, and beavers happen to have both.

First of all, its meat is delicious and is a delicacy on the tables of the Yin people. Secondly, its scent gland secretions are the precious spice castoreum and are also used as medical supplies.

And the most precious thing is its fur.The whole body of the beaver is covered with soft and shiny fur, the most common being brown chestnut, some are slightly reddish, and occasionally black.

In order to keep the body warm in cold water, the beaver's hair is very thick and has double layers of hair, which are long and rough outer layer of guard hair and fine and lightweight inner layer of hair.

This kind of fur does not stick to water, is waterproof and oil-proof, and is very warm. This is the root cause of beavers being killed.

Because there are too few French people, it is impossible to hunt and kill beavers by themselves, so they can only rely on the Yin people.

The Yin people are also very happy to do business with the honest and friendly French, and both sides feel that they have taken advantage of it.

A French businessman bought knives, bells, and glass for 100 livres (French currency) and exchanged them for a beaver skin from an Indian. This beaver skin sold for more than 2000 livres in Europe.

But the people of Yin would say to everyone: "These legal persons are really stupid. They gave us several knives, but they only want a beaver skin..."

After the Frenchman heard Yin's words, he suddenly fell silent.

Louis never thought that the British would kill all of them!
William III smiled and nodded: "Of course. When I was the king, the Yin people there were almost killed by the Protestants and Puritans! I am too lazy to care about them. Now, there should be no Yin people in the Twelve States Colony. Already!"

"You Brits"

That anger in Louis the Great's heart!

You Brits are too cruel, why do you like extermination so much?
How barbaric it is, or our French civilization!

Louis thought to himself: the French are indeed the most civilized among Westerners to the Yin people, and they deserve to be the lighthouse of Europe!
However, it was also because of the small number of French people who arrived in North America that the French did not kill Yin people indiscriminately.

William III finally woke up from his distress, because he could see something was wrong from Louis' face, "Brother Louis, what happened?"
