Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 401 Fuzansky’s big plan! (Please vote for me, please subscribe)
In the splendid and magnificent throne room of the Palace of Fontainebleau, "Prince Fuquansky" and Princess Sofia have already taken their seats in two high-back armchairs specially prepared for them, while Louis XIV, the Sun King of Europe, Sitting high on his king's throne, he looked at the two people in front of him. After a long time, he smiled and said: "Princess, Prince, can I talk to you in Latin?"

"Of course, I have been studying Latin during this time and now I have basically mastered this ancient language."

As the saying goes, a strict teacher makes a good disciple. Now that Fuquanski had a "strict and serious" teacher, it was difficult for him not to be a good disciple.

Sofia also smiled and said: "Your Majesty the King, Fuquan can already speak Latin fluently, and I have also learned some Mongolian. I can still use it if necessary."

Sofia's language talent is indeed very strong. Fuquan has not mastered Latin yet, but she has already mastered the Mongolian language. It seems that she is ready to become the Kotun of the Great Mongolia. This is a very solid Kotun!
Louis XIV nodded, then looked at Fuzansky: "Prince, I heard from my Foreign Minister Kolbe that you have a plan to seize the throne of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, I still have many supporters in the Qing Dynasty, and I have a very good relationship with Li Zhongshan, the general who rules the Ming Empire. He will also support me in seizing the throne of the Qing Dynasty!"

"General of the Empire?" Louis XIV frowned, "What position is this? Caesar? Or consul?"

Rather than supporting Fuquansky to seize the throne of the Qing Dynasty, Louis was more interested in whether he could form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty in the East?

To be honest, he was very disgusted with the "Republic" advertised by the Ming Dynasty, and was afraid that the flames of "Republic" would spread from the far East to France where both the nobles and the common people were restless - when he was 10 years old, Paris erupted. During the Fronde rebellion, he himself was driven out of Paris and hid in Fort Saint-Germain.At the same time that the Parisians were revolting, Charles I of England next door was beheaded by the British republicans.

During that time, Louis's young mind was hit hard every day. He was afraid that one morning he would wake up and suddenly find that he had been captured by the Fronde and was about to be beheaded!
From that time on, Louis XIV was hostile to everything related to the Republic!When he led the Kingdom of France to war with the United Provincial Republic of the Netherlands, he once wanted to end the war decently by supporting the Orange family to become the Dutch royal family.

But William III of Orange didn't know how to appreciate it!It was inappropriate to leave the good King of the Netherlands aside, but he was thinking about the position of the King of England. However, compared to the United Provinces of the Netherlands ruled by the Orange family, the Ming Dynasty in the East was the "lighthouse" that worried Louis very much.

Because the United Provincial Republic of the Netherlands is right next door to France, everyone knows what the "republic" is there?A republic of a hereditary ruling family and a group of business oligarchs.What is the difference between this kind of republic and the monarchy where the king, nobles and magicians jointly rule?
Moreover, the Republic of the Netherlands was severely beaten by the French army in the just-concluded Franco-Dutch War. If William III had not used water instead of troops to tear up the seawall and flooded a large area of ​​its own land, the Netherlands would not have been able to survive. The provincial republic is long gone.

In addition, in this Franco-Dutch War, the army and even the navy of the Federal Republic of the Netherlands did not show much combat effectiveness. There were not even many citizens of the Republic of the Netherlands in the army of the Republic of the Netherlands. Relying on foreign mercenaries to maintain the war, although it survived in the end.

But the arrogant French people will not like this kind of lingering republic, and they don't have that much money to hire foreigners to defend their country and property.

But the "Republican Ming Dynasty" on the other side of the world sounds like the kind of flavor that the French like - powerful and republican!Just like the Roman Republic in the East!
"The general is equivalent to the consul," Fuquansky replied. "The general is not only the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, but also the head of the Ming government. The Ming government also has two 'chief ministers' who are responsible for daily affairs, equivalent to deputy consuls. Because when the general goes on an expedition, the powers of the general are delegated to these two 'prime ministers'. In addition, the positions of the general and the 'prime ministers' have terms of five years each and can be re-elected."

"Then how did the general and the prime minister come into being?" Louis XIV asked again, "Were they appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? There was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Fuquansky replied: "The Ming Dynasty did have an emperor. The generals, prime ministers, and many other official positions were theoretically appointed by the emperor. But in fact, the emperor could only entrust the candidates recommended by the people's political assembly, and could not skip the appointment by the political assembly. He wants commissioned officials.”

"So that's it?" Louis XIV frowned, "Then the emperor was ignored?"

Fuquansky nodded: "Yes, the emperor was indeed emptied out, so the Ming Dynasty's political system was called a republic! In fact, the power of the Ming Emperor was much smaller than that of the Dutch consuls! And the Ming Dynasty's generals and left-right ministers , is a position similar to that of a consul in the Netherlands.

It's just that the Dutch consuls are hereditary, but the generals and ministers are not hereditary. Theoretically not! "

Louis XIV asked again: "How did the great generals and ministers of the Ming Dynasty seize power and prevent it from flying away from their hands?"

Fuquansky replied: "They controlled the political council by organizing the Tiandihui, making conventions to evade the emperor, running schools and newspapers to promote the original monarch, and protecting the interests of the people, etc., to firmly grasp the power in their hands."

Louis XIV was a little panicked after hearing this!

The Republic of Ming Dynasty was not only progressive, but also very operable!
There seems to be no problem if I copy it directly to France!

"But, how was this done?" Louis XIV then asked, "How could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty be willing to hand over the power given to him by Heavenly Father?"

"Your Majesty," Fuquansky explained, "Although the emperor of China is called the 'Son of Heaven', that is, the son of Heavenly Father! But the Chinese people have long known that this is not true, because China has experienced too many dynasty changes in history. , the son of the Heavenly Father cannot get the blessing of the Heavenly Father at all, so the imperial power is no longer sacred long ago.

The reason why today's Ming Emperor can become the emperor is because of the support of the generals, left and right ministers, as well as other rebel leaders and people's leaders.In fact, in today's Ming Dynasty, the power to discuss politics does not come from the imperial power. Instead, the emperor's throne comes from the support of the political council.Therefore, the emperor should be bound by the political council."

"Since imperial power is no longer sacred, the general and the two 'prime ministers' can bring the Ming Emperor to power. Then why don't they become emperors themselves?" Louis XIV didn't understand again - he was familiar with Roman history, and the Western Roman Empire 86 of the 68 emperors of the empire died abnormally!

To get rid of the emperor and become emperor yourself is basically the "succession law" of the Roman Empire!

But even though the Roman emperor was a high-ranking profession, Louis was prepared to bear the weight of the Roman crown!

Well, it can’t be him who dies anyway!
Because he was the great emperor who restored the glory of Rome!He is the Sun King that everyone respects. As long as he is alive, everyone will have to put their tail between their legs and behave like a human being.

Fuquansky replied: "Because the Chinese throne has long lost its sanctity, after the establishment of each new dynasty, a round of massacres must be carried out on the meritorious ministers who founded the dynasty to ensure that the throne can be held by one family and one surname. Much longer. The founders of this generation of dynasties decided to break this death cycle. Their leader simply did not ascend the throne. Instead, they found a direct descendant of the previous emperor and put him on the throne as a puppet. In this way, they could Maintain harmony and truly achieve prosperity together!"

Louis XIV was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "It seems that the founders of this generation of Chinese Empire are smart people, and they have found a good way!"

Fuquansky also sighed: "Your Majesty, this is the luck of the Ming Empire, but it is also the misfortune of the Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty!"

Louis XIV looked at Fuquansky: "Prince, it seems that you are not optimistic about the future of the Qing Empire. So you still want to seize the throne of this empire?"

Fuquansky said: "Your Majesty, what I want to seize is the throne of the Great Mongol Kingdom, not the throne of the Qing Empire. The so-called Qing Dynasty is just the part of the Han Dynasty occupied by the Aisin Gioro family. And our family is in While conquering the Han people, they also conquered the Mongolian world and seized the legal authority of the Great Mongolia. But this part, even when the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, was not able to conquer it. It was not because the force of the Ming Dynasty at its peak was not enough, but It is too difficult for a group of farmers to conquer a group of nomads. There is no way for them to take root in the desolate and boundless world of Mongolia!

Therefore, the current New Ming Dynasty will not spend too much resources in the Mongolian world because there are too many easier-to-conquer lands in the world waiting for the New Ming Dynasty!Therefore, after I seize the throne of Mongol Khan, Ming Dynasty and Mongolia can become friends. Mongolia can also provide channels for trade between Rakshasa, Ming Dynasty, Ottoman, Persia and India."

Historically, the Ming Dynasty's pursuit of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was not without its efforts. During Zhu Yuanzhang's period, he conquered the grassland eight times, and Zhu Di attacked it five times.Although in most cases, the powerful Ming Dynasty could sweep away the grasslands, Han farmers were unable to take root in the grasslands.

The farmers couldn't stay, and the army naturally couldn't station in the hinterland of the Mongolian grassland. Defending Monan Mongolia was the limit. Later, Emperor Xuande even abandoned most of the territory in Monan Mongolia in order to save money.

Now that the East Asian world has entered the Age of Discovery, there are so many areas in the world that are easy to win and that allow Han farmers to gain a foothold comfortably. Why do we have to compete with the Mongols for a piece of land to graze sheep?

Moreover, the time it takes to cross the Pacific Ocean to the New World is even shorter than the time it takes to run from Beijing to herding sheep on the Mongolian prairie, and the transportation cost is even lower!
Therefore, once we calculate this account, we know that after the Ming Dynasty regained the Central Plains, it would at most take Monan Mongolia as a buffer, and would not kill all Mongolia. There was no time and the cost would be too high.

Even the Ming Empire would not blockade Mongolia. There is absolutely no need for that!Nowadays, fighting relies on bastions and guns. The Mongols have no advantage in this regard.Rather than treating them as enemies, the New Ming Dynasty would rather treat them as a collection place for raw materials and a place for dumping goods.

Due to geographical reasons, the entire Mughal region, including the Khalkha Mongolia, will be the market and raw material collection areas that the Ming Dynasty can exclusively monopolize. Even the Siberian region under the rule of the Rakshasa Empire is also included.

And the Ming Dynasty did not need to conquer at all to achieve its goal!
Therefore, once the Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were expelled from China, it would be easy for them and the Ming Dynasty to turn enemies into friends.

"In fact, the Ming Dynasty has already paved the way for a long-lasting coexistence with the Great Mongolia and the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future!" Fuquanski said happily, using a perspective that was beneficial to him to analyze the grievances and grievances of the three kingdoms of the 'Qing, Zhou, and Ming' Love and hatred, "Two of the three wives of the Ming Dynasty General came from the royal family of the Da Zhou Dynasty. They were all princesses of the Da Zhou Dynasty. The Ming Emperor's favorite wife came from the Yang family of the Korean Supervisor. At the same time, another of the Ming Dynasty General's other wives In fact, they also come from the Yang family. And Kangxi Khan's queen and a noble concubine also came from the Yang family.

The patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Qilong, the North Korean supervisor, is also my supporter. I have deposited 70 pounds in the bank he opened!As long as His Majesty the King can give me enough support, I will definitely be able to seize the throne of Mongolia with the support of the Ming Dynasty General and the Yang Family Supervisor of North Korea! "

What Fuzansky said was a confident person. At least that's how it seemed!With the help of Sofia and Silva, it took him several months to achieve this effect!
After listening to his analysis, Louis XIV also felt that Fuquansky had a dream and might be worth investing in!
"Then what are you going to do?" Louis asked, "I want a specific plan!"

"I plan to recruit and train an army in Rakshasa!" Fozansky said. "At least 3 people will be needed. The entire plan may cost 100 million pounds of silver, and it will also require French military advisers and weapons. In addition, I will also need and Contact my allies in East Asia so that I can receive support from them."

"One million pounds of silver?" Louis XIV took a breath, "This is too much!"

"Your Majesty," Sofia immediately interjected, "Fokonsky already has 70 pounds of silver, and his Eastern allies can provide the remaining 30. In fact, this is not difficult. You should know that 20 pounds of silver are worth Silk, porcelain, and spices shipped from China to Europe can be worth more than 100 million pounds of silver!

If you can provide ships and crews for this ocean transportation, you can not only get the silks, porcelain, and spices you want, but you can also open up a trade route to the East!This route will make France greater!

In addition, you can also establish close trade and alliance relationships with the Ming Empire. The Ming Dynasty currently has tense relations with Spain and the Netherlands!And it seems that the peace between you and these two countries will not last long! "

"In other words, I only need to provide ships and crews?" Louis XIV was tempted, "And I can also get the friendship of Ming Dynasty?"

Although he is very disgusted with the Republic of Ming Dynasty, he does need Ming Dynasty as an ally. Because Spain and the Netherlands are seeking to form alliances with the Qing Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Hindustan Empire!
The Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were okay, but the Hindustan Empire, which inexplicably became part of the Mongol world, was amazing!Aurangzeb was rich!He can provide military subsidies to the Netherlands and let the Netherlands recruit mercenaries in Europe to fight France in exchange for Dutch support for his cause of Indian unification!
Therefore, Louis XIV now also needs a big Eastern financier to invest in his "Roman Dream", and the only one that can rival India is the Ming Dynasty in the world today.

"You also need to provide some start-up capital," Sofia grinned at Louis XIV, "It doesn't take much. 10 pounds of silver is enough! Of course, this is a loan, only Fuquan Sky gets his deposit back and can pay it back immediately.”

One hundred thousand pounds of silver plus a few armed merchant ships or battleships that can cross the ocean, plus a group of French military advisers, seems okay!
Louis XIV thought about it in his mind, nodded and said: "Well, I will discuss it with my Minister of Finance, Foreign Minister, and Military Minister, and we will have a pretty complete plan."

Hearing Louis XIV's assurance, Sofia and Fosunsky were greatly relieved - they finally cheated, no, borrowed money!The efforts of the past few months have finally paid off. With this money, the two of them can start their joint business!

Their next move, of course, is to return to Rakshasa to recruit new troops with the funds, weapons, and personnel supported by Louis XIV!

Rakshasa has been thinking about starting a new army for a long time, but he has never had the money, and the shooting army will not let him.Now it's time to take Louis' money and use it in Fuzansky's name.

When we have "Suo Jiajun", hehe
