Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.
Chapter 277: Germany is finally unified
After his victory, Blanqui quickly liquidated Louis XIII.
After a public vote, almost unanimously, Louis XIII was executed.
On January 1, French Emperor Louis XIII and his Queen Maria were guillotined in Paris.
Perhaps Li Shizu and Zheng Zhilong themselves did not realize that they had opened a "Pandora's box."
The raging riots indeed affected the rule of European countries and stagnated their development.
But soon there was a backlash against the Chinese Empire.
After Blanqui achieved success, he began to turn against others.
After executing Louis XIII, he proclaimed the establishment of the Provisional Government of the French Republic in Paris.
The provisional government under his leadership began to refuse to recognize the previously signed treaties and refused to implement the remaining terms except for the release of Toryukyu Company personnel and the return of illegally confiscated property.
A new French National Defense Force was even formed in an attempt to recapture the Sedan Fortress by force.
At this time, Li Shizu realized that he had raised a white-eyed wolf before.
Blanqui, who became interim prime minister, was no longer under his control.
The French guy's behavior can be said to have touched Li Shizu's skin. No country has dared to tease him like this.
There is a saying that "when the emperor is angry, his body will float thousands of miles away".
Although Li Shizu was not an emperor, he was still a decisive figure in Europe.
Soon the Chinese army stationed at Sedan Fortress completed its assembly.
A conquest army composed of 30,000 Chinese infantry and 20,000 Cossack cavalry marched from Sedan to Paris, the heart of France.
Blanqui called on armed forces from all over France to come to defend Paris.
He took to the streets of Paris to give a speech, which restored the confidence of Paris citizens and firmly believed that as long as the French united, they would be able to drive the Chinese out of France.
So 60,000 French National Defense Forces left Paris under the welcome of Paris citizens and went to garrison in Reims to prevent the Chinese army from advancing towards Paris.
Although the French Republic was established, it only controlled the northern part of France.
Places such as Marseille in the south were still controlled by the royalists headed by Duke Henry.
Louis XIII's son, Louis Dieudonne Bourbon, who was only just over one year old, had also been successfully brought from Paris to Marseille by the royalists.
The emptiness of Paris at this time allowed them to see the opportunity to capture Paris.
However, from Marseille to Paris, almost across the entire France, the provisional government will definitely mobilize troops, and their sneak attack plan will definitely be exposed.
After much deliberation, they finally found the representative of East Ryukyu Company in Marseille.
Duke Henry stated that they would restore the Bourbon dynasty by supporting the one-year-old son of French Emperor Louis XIII to ascend to the throne.
Once the Bourbon dynasty is successfully restored, it will continue to unswervingly implement the agreements reached before.
But at this time they needed the East Ryukyu Company to help transport the army to the port in northern France.
Ten days later, 16000 royalist troops landed near Calais in northern France on merchant ships of the East Ryukyu Company.
Then, with the support of the feudal noble forces along the way, they fought all the way to the city of Paris.
At this time, the troops of the Provisional Government were heavily surrounded by Chinese troops in Reims, and it was impossible to break through and return to Paris to aid.
There are only more than 3,000 regular armed forces in Paris, and there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides.
Although many Paris citizens took up arms and took to the streets, they were no match for the regular army.
After two days of fierce fighting, the royalists reoccupied Paris.
Decree announcing the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty and outlawing all provisional governments.
Blanqui himself was betrayed by a traitor because of the high reward.
The royalists also sent Blanqui to the guillotine, which comforted the souls of Louis XIII and his wife.
The provisional government troops in Reims also surrendered to the Chinese army soon after.
Duke Henry raised Louis Dieudonné Bourbon to the throne of French Emperor when he was just over one year old. He became Louis XIV.
Louis XIV was just a decoration, and all military and political power was actually controlled by Duke Henry.
Soon the royalists launched a counterattack against members of the Provisional Government across France.
A large number of members of the provisional government were arrested, and more than 500 of them were shot dead. The whole of France was shrouded in terror.
Now that the Bourbon dynasty has been restored and the agreement with China continues to be implemented, Li Shizu simply withdraws his troops.
In order to thank China for helping its restoration this time, Duke Henry promised to compensate China for an additional 3000 million silver dollars in military expenses.
As for the 4 French prisoners who were captured, they were naturally sent to dig canals in Egypt.
Although the Bourbon dynasty in France was restored, what happened in France made the monarchs of various European countries feel deep fear.
They could not tolerate their own subjects overthrowing their rule one day and sent themselves to the guillotine.
As a result, they have stepped up their domestic repression to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
With the tacit approval of the Chinese Empire, countries such as England, France, Spain, Sweden, Genoa, Venice, and the Papal States formed a "Holy Alliance" with the city-states.
The "Holy Alliance" soon sent troops to France to help the Bourbons suppress rebellions across France.
On European soil, whenever a riot broke out against the monarch, they formed a coalition to suppress it.
In the end, this rising craze in Europe was suppressed by feudal forces.
Originally Austria also wanted to participate, but due to pressure from the Chinese Empire, the "Holy Alliance" rejected Austria.
Obviously anyone with a discerning eye can see that after China annexed the North German region, it will continue to annex the states under the Holy Roman Empire.
Now European countries have acquiesced that these areas are China's sphere of influence.
In 962 AD, King Otto I of Germany was crowned emperor by Pope John XII in Rome and was called the "Emperor of Rome". The Kingdom of Germany was called the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation". This was the Old German Empire, or the for the first empire.
By the time of Frederick I in the 12th century, the empire became the most powerful country in Europe.
Frederick I blatantly added the word "holy".
However, today's Holy Roman Empire is more like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China, consisting of hundreds of states.
Although the Austrian Habsburg dynasty has long monopolized the title of Holy Roman Emperor, they were exhausted by the Ottoman Empire and were simply unable to unify Germany.
The North German states that were originally rising were defeated by China again. Today, all the countries on this land are still in disarray.
In order to consolidate his rule, Li Shizu began to rebuild the city of Berlin in order to regain the hearts and minds of the German region.
And he recruited 5 troops in the North German region to form a North German coalition army.
Although China is a foreign force, Li Shizu still shouted the slogan "Germany will be unified for thousands of years"!
The North German Allied Forces took the lead in attacking Bohemia.
Bohemia is Austria's most important ally.
The King of Austria, Ferdinand III, who was also the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, immediately sent 3 troops into Prague to defend the city with the Bohemian army.
The Polish-Austrian coalition and the North German coalition launched a brutal offensive in Prague.
Although the North German Allied Forces had artillery support provided by China, their formation time was relatively short and they lacked actual combat experience.
In the end, the siege turned into a protracted tug of war.
In the past 50 years, the Ottoman Empire had attacked Vienna no less than twenty times. Ottoman Sultan Murad IV had long coveted Vienna.
This is another goal that the Ottoman Empire must win after Constantinople.
However, Austria itself was not weak, and with the support of other European countries, the Ottomans came back defeated every time.
However, through its alliance with the Chinese Empire, the territory of the Ottoman Empire reached an unprecedented scale.
Important cities such as Baghdad and Kiev fell into the hands of the Ottomans one after another, causing them to restart their attack on Vienna.
When the Ottomans saw that the Chinese were revolting, and Austria's domestic troops were empty at this time, they quickly sent troops to raid Vienna.
As the largest state in the Holy Roman Empire, Austria's strength cannot be underestimated.
The number of troops that can be mobilized in the country alone exceeds 100,000, and it can be considered a big country in Europe.
Not surprisingly, the Ottomans launched an attack on Austria.
8 Ottoman troops invaded western Hungary, and their frontline pointed at Vienna, the capital of Austria.
The Ottomans were thinking about Vienna every day, and Ferdinand III was naturally on guard.
The Austrian-affiliated Principality of Transylvania pretended to surrender to the Ottomans, acted as a guide for them, and misled the Ottomans.
Eventually the Ottomans were encircled by Austrian and Hungarian armies near Pressburg, east of Vienna.
The two sides fought for six full days and nights on the banks of the Danube. The bodies of soldiers from both sides were everywhere, and the Danube was even dyed red for a time.
In the end, the Ottomans retreated in panic after paying the price of 4 killed.
Although Austria won a victory here, it also suffered 2 casualties. It can be said to have been a tragic victory.
Ferdinand III was actually very concerned about the situation on the front line in Prague, but fortunately the two sides were still in a stalemate in Prague.
But he never expected that the Chinese would suddenly invade Bavaria, one of the largest states in southern Germany.
Bavaria is Austria's western barrier, but they have just experienced a war with the Ottomans.
Facing Bavaria's call for help, they were simply unable to support them.
At this time, another Chinese army also invaded Silesia, another state in eastern Austria, from the original Polish border.
Although in the direction of Bohemia, the Austrians barely withstood the North German Allied Forces.
But at this time, the Chinese were attacking Austria from two directions, Bavaria and Silesia, and they were unable to resist at all.
The reason why the Austrian Habsburg dynasty is famous in Europe naturally has their exclusive secrets.
That is marriage!
Since the fifteenth century, the Habsburg family has inherited large areas of territory through marriages with royal families in various European countries, including parts of Spain, Austria, Hungary, southern and northern Italy, and other territories.
At this moment, facing the aggressive Chinese attack, Ferdinand III could only send his most beloved daughter, Princess Maria, to Li Shizu's military camp in Cologne.
Although the whole of Europe knew that the wife of the second Chinese prince was the empress of the Mughal Kingdom, Princess Maria said that she was willing to serve Li Shizu even if she was an untitled mistress.
After all, Li Shizu was a hot-blooded young man. Now that a noble and elegant Austrian princess was willing to lower herself to be his mistress, he naturally refused.
I have to say that the genes of the Habsburg dynasty are still good. Princess Maria has a proud figure, especially a pair of deep eyes, which are breathtaking.
It is very easy for a noble and beautiful woman like this to conquer a man.
Soon the two became entangled, and it was already the next day when Li Shizu woke up.
I heard my mother say that my father had "sexual pleasures" with many women outside, but he had very strict control over the royal heirs.
Now they only have 5 brothers in total.
Fortunately, this kind of lover relationship does not require the consent of one's own father, queen, and mother. Of course, the prerequisite is that no heirs can be left behind.
As the princes of China, how to prevent pregnancy is also a required course for them.
Even if he was negligent on a whim, there would be a dedicated person responsible for handling these matters in the future. In short, he would not leave any descendants at will.
He was very clear about Princess Maria's purpose, but he would not easily change his established strategy just because of a woman.
Li Shizu said: "Germany has been divided for hundreds of years. It is time for reunification. I will not allow Austria to become independent. Austria should be integrated into the newly established German Federation."
I have to say that Maria is not only a beautiful woman, but also very judgmental of the situation. She knew that she could not influence Li Shizu's decision.
He didn't engage in any boring entanglement and just asked: "How does His Highness the Second Prince plan to deal with Austria and my father Ferdinand III?"
Li Shizu said: "As long as the Austrians lay down their arms, I will ensure that the Habsburg family has a place in the newly established German Federation."
"Of course, Austria can no longer exist as an independent state. The German states must obey the unified command of the federal government. However, as a large state within the German Federation, Austria will enjoy certain autonomy."
Princess Maria didn't bother much. She just gave Li Shizu a warm hug and returned to Vienna with the news.
She wanted to leave more expectations for the Chinese prince.
Compared with the Islamic Ottoman Empire, the Chinese Empire is definitely more suitable for Austria, at least it can guarantee their existing beliefs.
On July 7, the ninth year of Qianxi, Ferdinand III, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and King of Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia, voluntarily gave up the throne and announced that these three states would join the newly established German Confederation.
On the same day, Li Shizu, the second prince of the Chinese Empire, received the crown and scepter symbolizing the emperor's power in Vienna.
As the second prince of the Chinese Empire, he also served as the governor of the German Federation.
And it was announced that the German Federation would officially join the Chinese Empire, and Germany would be unified for thousands of years!
