New Shun 1730

All the Dutch people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They had no other choice but to sigh.

They don't know how Dashun plans to end this war, nor how Dashun plans to deal with future world trade.

Regardless of whether Dashun can succeed by eating alone, it has nothing to do with them.

If they can't eat, they can only stare at it, and they won't get any benefit. At most, I feel happy: I deserve it, eating alone and shit! Tell you not to cooperate with us. But it's useless to be happy because they can't make money.

The Duke of Qi, who had uttered wild words and boasted endlessly at the banquet, was a little nervous when he returned to his residence.

Nowadays, Dashun and Holland are fighting from two ends.

Of course Holland is afraid that Dashun will eat alone.

Dashun is also afraid that Holland will not cooperate with Dashun.

At today's banquet, although I heard that the Dutch could no longer sit still, they began to take the initiative to contact them, showing their intention to cooperate in the future.

However, things here are not that simple.

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

Today's purpose is to frighten the Dutch and lower their expectations, so that Dashun can have greater initiative in future negotiations.

But I'm afraid that the scare will be too great, and these people will really not dare to have contact with Dashun.

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

Although Qi Guogong did some homework before coming, he also understood that when dealing with these Xiyi people, he still could not fully understand himself and the enemy. He also knew that he was helping his son-in-law this time, and he still had to ask his staff for many things.

After returning home to sober up and wash up, he called Kang Busuo over 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 Now look at it, the Netherlands is a mess.”

"Food prices are skyrocketing, investment is collapsing, and foreign wars are losing streak. If we ask them to overthrow the Orange family at this time, it is obviously impossible. Now the ruling position is a hot potato, and no one wants to take it."

"As Shou Chang said, we need to cooperate with the Dutch. Although we are one of the parties and seem to have the upper hand, in the end it still depends on the situation in Europe. In the end, it still depends on the attitude of the French. If the French can speak out first , saying that as long as these people overthrow the Orange family, they will be treated leniently with the Netherlands. The Dutch people are eager to end the war and may support it. "

"But if the French don't nod, it will be difficult. If we occupy Nanyang, as far as deterring the Netherlands is concerned, it would be better not to occupy it."

"If you don't seize the time, I will have the upper hand. With just one word from Shou Chang, the Governor of Batavia was frightened into not wanting to kill him. Now that he has taken the time, our words are of little use."

Kang Buyao also knew the transformation. Just like Dashun occupied the Dutch Nanyang in order to cooperate with the Netherlands, the transformation of contradictions was wonderful. After Dashun occupied Nanyang, speaking in the Netherlands was like a waste of time.

"What the Duke said is absolutely true, but I think we can just wait and wait at this time. Don't be anxious. I think the general trend is still in our favor."

"The French are now arrogant and unwilling to let the Netherlands go easily. But when Emperor Taizu was dormant in Shangluo, if he asked for the title of King of the Northwest, Chongzhen himself refused to agree. Who knows that a few years later, he would find Hanged from a crooked neck tree?"

"Now it seems that although France has an advantage, it is actually surrounded by crises. A truce at this time is of greatest benefit, but he is unwilling... As the saying goes, the moon is full and then it loses, and the water is full and it overflows. After all, the French still cannot see the crisis."

He and Liu Yu had discussed the situation in Europe many times, and Kang Bulao still had some opinions on this. He also knew that Liu Yu had already begun to dig holes in France during the Anglo-Spanish War. Now that so many years have passed, the effects should slowly appear.

…………

As the saying goes, if you have more money behind you, you forget to shrink your hands, and if you have no future, you want to look back.

The French were making great progress in Europe, and the Dashun envoy did not go to France at this time and was poured cold water on them. They just stayed and rested silently in Amsterdam, waiting for the situation to change.

The French's advantage in Europe is already full of crises.

On August 26, Prussia unilaterally negotiated peace with Britain and the Netherlands. Britain recognized Prussia's sovereignty over Silesia and announced that Austria would cut off aid if it did not fight France and still fought with Prussia.

Earlier, at the beginning of the year, Charles VII, Elector of Bavaria and crowned Holy Roman Emperor, passed away.

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 bunch of small HRE nations against the Habsburg banner.

So before he died, he repented endlessly and told his son to give up the fight for the Holy Ra throne and make peace with Austria. France yelled, but after all, this was an internal matter within Shinra. Although the French were angry, they had nothing to do.

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

However, the Austrians were unable to defeat them. Then he met Frederick II, a military genius that Europe had only seen for a century. I was afraid that after a few more fights, I could only hold my nose and admit it.

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

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 the Ottoman Empire. It is mainly because the Russian empress inherited Peter's ambition to move westward, and suppressing Prussia is the top priority.

Now Prussia and France are standing together, which has already made Russia dissatisfied. In addition, France is poor. Although the Marquis of La Chetadi helped Elizabeth to take office, friendship is friendship and politics is politics. The British directly opened the way with pounds and told Russia to prepare 50,000 troops. Britain hired each soldier at a price of 30 taels of silver per year to help Britain guard Hanover.

France can only rely on talking about France's help to Elizabeth and talking about the past friendship between lovers, but it can't give so much money.

Moreover, Russia's timber is exported to Britain in large quantities to earn pounds. Not only does France not buy fur, but it also competes with the Russians for the fur business-Canadian fur has severely hit Russia's fur trade. Moreover, the sables in Siberia have been almost caught, and they have to go to the Heilongjiang River Basin to catch them. No one has touched the primeval forests in Canada for many years, but there are still many.

It seems that France is now in great glory, but it does not know that after the prosperity, there is often a big crisis.

And outside 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, Dupleix was 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 such a big trouble to French India.

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

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

At the time of the Lingdingyang Incident, Liu Yu insulted George Anson many times. But in the face of strength, especially when he saw several battleships of Dashun across the Strait of Malacca, George Anson still ordered his fleet to lower the flag and salute the navy of Dashun.

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

With sufficient supplies, there was no situation in history where two-thirds of his fleet died of scurvy. In addition, with the supplement of Chinese sailors, George Anson's fleet was strong.

In India, Dupleix did gain an advantage at the beginning and launched a siege on the British-occupied city.

The British army in Madras was really vulnerable. In addition, the two cruisers leased from Dashun gave Dupleix control of the sea, which was a great advantage.

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

With Clive's qualifications, it took some opportunities to make a name for himself.

But his somewhat legendary choice of "getting the opportunity to work in the Chinese trading house but giving up the opportunity to take the initiative to join the Indian army" made the local garrison officers appreciate this bold and adventurous young man and made him an adjutant and flag bearer early.

After learning about France's plan to attack Madras, Colonel King Lawrence, the highest officer of the garrison at Fort St. David, wanted to lead troops to support.

But Clive offered a "siege Wei to save Zhao" strategy, believing that it was meaningless to support now and that it was likely to be ambushed by the French halfway.

Fort St. David is very close to Pondicherry. It is an important stronghold of the French in India. It is better to make a siege of Pondicherry to attract the French to come back for help.

If the French come back for help, 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 try to get George Anson's fleet to arrive, the French will definitely be defeated.

Once this "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" plan was proposed, King Lawrence valued this young man more, so he adopted this plan, pulled all the soldiers of Fort St. David out, and marched towards Pondicherry, which was very close.

Dupleix made a very wrong decision. He chose to split his troops in Madras. One part continued in Madras, and the other part returned to Pondicherry for help.
