Chapter 60 Foothold

In fact, this agreement also had Lin En's selfish motives involved.
If he is invited by Britain to attack France this time, do you still want him to return the land he conquered?
In this way, Rohan can legitimately take root in Europe and enter the center of this intricate chessboard.
As expected, George II agreed wholeheartedly. He was willing to see anything that could hurt France.
On the day the British fleet evacuated Port Royal, the Rohan Army encircled the French colony in the central part of the North American continent from three directions.
At the same time, Norrington led the Eighth Fleet to attack Tatuga.
Seven days later, the French at Tatuga surrendered.
Three months later,
The French army was no longer visible on the North American continent. The armies from the three directions of Rohan crushed all resistance in an almost sweeping manner.
At this point, Lynn unified all the land in North America.
Of course, except for "Mexico City" and the Viceroy of New Spain who is already waiting for death!
Because Lin En had strictly ordered that there should be neither too many nor too few Spaniards in Mexico City. But are there any immortals? Once someone has an accident or dies of illness, the Rohan Army responsible for "surrounding" this place will try their best to supplement it.
Sometimes they were captured, sometimes they were bought, and they tried every possible means to get Spaniards to stuff them in. The number of people must remain the same!
The current territory of the Kingdom of Rohan consists of the northernmost tip of the North American continent,
It extends to the northernmost tip of the South American continent. The entire Caribbean Sea has completely become the inland sea of ​​Rohan!
There has never been a country as vast as Rohan,
No country has ever been able to monopolize an entire continent.
And Rohan, which rules such a vast area, can no longer be described as a kingdom.
The call to dethrone the king and proclaim himself emperor arose, and soon the proposal for Lin En's coronation was submitted to him.
Lin En did not engage in any tricks of "three concessions and three concessions" and directly agreed to "persuade in". Building a new empire would be more conducive to uniting the people and enhancing national self-confidence and cohesion.
But the capital of the empire needs to be re-planned. Florida is a peninsula and is not suitable as the new capital of the empire.
Lynn finally chose a bay on the Gulf of Mexico and named it Zhongjing.
Zhongjing is located in the lower reaches of the Mississippi River, with abundant freshwater resources, flat terrain and sufficient development potential. It is also about the same distance from the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and can overlook the entire Caribbean Sea.
Whether it is land transportation, sea transportation, or river transportation, the new capital is very convenient. And when the canal is opened, the prosperity of the Caribbean will surely increase exponentially.
The geographical location of Beijing is very favorable for both trade and political influence, and its military defense is equally powerful.
No one can threaten Zhongjing from the ground,
Its threat can only come from the sea. The Gulf of Mexico is like an inland sea. As long as the entrance to the gulf is guarded,
The entire Gulf of Mexico is its face.
With Rohan's insufficient manpower input,
The project of digging the canal progressed rapidly. The slave workers from Japan made huge sacrifices for this. Of course,
No one will remember.
Half a year later, the canal project was officially completed. Of the hundreds of thousands of slave workers, only less than 40,000 were left. These slave workers, together with a steady stream of successors, will join the Rohan Empire's major infrastructure and contribute to this end.
Dedicate your life.
If they are lucky, they may be assigned to a farm, where countless food crops and cotton are waiting for them.
Lynn did not attend the opening ceremony of the canal. After several months of dilly-dallying, and with repeated requests from Britain, he finally led the fleet across the Atlantic and headed for France!
The Bourbon dynasty that ruled France was very upset about the defeat of the North American continent, so it domestically described Rohan as a bloodthirsty monster from the East.
Now Rohan came across the sea, and Louis XV vowed revenge. But Rohan's huge fleet easily defeated its fleet off the coast of France, and then landed at Reines in Brittany.
"The monster from the east has landed in Raines!"
Louis XV immediately raised troops to encircle and suppress the Rohan Army that landed in Brittany, but this would take time before that could happen.
Rohan's army fought successively and quickly occupied the Brittany Peninsula.
"The unspeakable man-eating devil is approaching Ren!"
France gathered the levied soldiers and headed towards Rohan.
But Rohan relied on its superior muskets and artillery,
Using advanced guns and artillery tactics, they defeated these incoming reinforcements in one battle.
"Despicable thieves have entered the Loire!"
Rohan drove the fleeing soldiers and captured the city,
Cleaning up a large area.
"Johnny Lynn takes over Le Mans!"
The French royal family had already felt fear and began to plan an escape route.
"King Linn approaches Fontainebleau!"
Louis XV of Bourbon visited Lyon southward.
"His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor of Rohan, arrived in Paris today!"
Linn stood in front of the Palace of Versailles and stopped.
The Palace of Versailles is a palace with a royal style, elegant and luxurious. It was built under the order of Louis XIV. It was the "Sun King" of France who led the fashion trend and wore white silk high heels.
He has reigned for more than seventy years, making him the longest-reigning king in the world on record.
After the death of Louis XIV, he was succeeded by the current king, Louis XV.
Lynn will receive the emissary of Louis XV in the Hall of Mirrors, the most luxurious and magnificent palace in the Palace of Versailles.
The Hall of Mirrors is decorated with a large number of gold utensils and high-quality large mirrors. At night, the candles lit by 3 rows of hanging candlesticks and 8 tall candlesticks that can hold 150 candles in the hall are reflected by the mirrors, forming countless candlelight.
, illuminating the entire hall with splendor, like a wonderful dream where light and shadow intertwine.
Now, in this dazzling hall, the emissary brought the sincerity of Louis XV.
France can fully support the Archduchess of Bavaria, Elisabeth Eugenie, to become Holy Roman Emperor!
Lin En secretly thought that it seemed that France had investigated his relationship with Elizabeth.
Bavaria is an elector, and the Grand Duke is eligible to be elected as the Holy Roman Emperor. But Elizabeth is not a Grand Duke unless...
"Let's investigate, is Elizabeth's father dead?" He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He couldn't get away recently, and he had neglected Elizabeth's current situation.
The guards quickly confirmed the news. Elizabeth's father died of illness half a month ago. The news has not spread yet, but according to the inheritance law, his position should be inherited by Elizabeth's brother.
It is said that this "brother" is already planning to find a husband for Elizabeth in order to gain more support.
Now this "brother" happens to be by Louis XV's side.
Lin En did not make any reply to the emissary, but immediately ordered his execution.
Chapter completed!
