As early as the beginning of the chaos in Paris, the Ming Empire Bank began to gradually withdraw.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the past two months, the bank's vault was moved empty. Even the accounts were packaged and transported by airship to the London branch.

The Imperial Bank of the Ming Dynasty in Paris is already an empty shell.

Zheng Sen didn't know about other things.

That is, all the Ming Dynasty's aid projects in France, even the bridges over the Seine River, were secretly installed with explosives!

While Napoleon's army was still being deployed, Zheng Sen and Tagawa Shichizaemon had already organized thousands of students and professors to escape to the airship landing site.

The Ming Dynasty Marine Corps was stationed here, and the French soldiers were blocked by machine guns.

Even though Murat was extremely vicious, he did not dare to order an attack on the Ming army. He knew that as long as he fired at the Ming army, it would mean declaring war on the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, even if the Ming Dynasty did not want to fight, it would definitely not be able to bear it. With France's current national strength, it would never be able to fight the Ming Dynasty.

Murat was so angry that he gritted his teeth. While sending people to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, he ordered the army to conduct a massive search and arrest in Paris.

As long as students are found, they will be arrested without any explanation. If they dare to resist, they will be shot on the spot without even having to go to trial.

But Zheng Sen had already run away, and the hotel rented by the Ming Dynasty mission was already empty, and no one could be found if they wanted to negotiate.

As the Ming people evacuated, constant explosions were heard throughout Paris.

Murat's face was livid, and bad news came one after another.

A company of soldiers sent out to occupy the printing house almost died together with the printing house. A big explosion occurred on the bridge piers of the bridge over the Seine.

The entire bridge fell into the water, taking with it two platoons of soldiers who were ordered to take over the bridge.

Telegraph stations, cement processing plants and other facilities all heard explosions one after another.

In the explosion, these important targets were all turned into ruins. Those expensive mechanical equipment turned into twisted pieces of scrap metal.

Veins popped out on Murat's neck, and his expression became ferocious due to extreme distortion.

"Damn it, forget it. Kill the Ming people!" Murat overturned the temporary office with force.

"Marshal, this can't happen. If we go to war with the Ming Dynasty, we will definitely lose. His Majesty the Emperor will be forced to abdicate, and you will... be sent to the gallows." His subordinates comforted Murat in a low voice.

"This...!" Facing the serious consequences, Murat had to calm down.

"Marshal! We can ask the Rothschild family to rebuild these factories. It's no big deal."

"Okay!" Murat took a deep breath and said helplessly.

"You can't control the ones who ran away, and you can't let go of the ones who didn't run away." The Imperial Marshal would not swallow this breath easily.

A large-scale manhunt was immediately launched in Paris. It was unrealistic to arrest everyone who took to the streets. However, it was feasible to arrest some student leaders.

There are no cameras, but there is certainly no shortage of painting masters in France. This kind of thing is not only available in the Ming Dynasty, but also in France.

In particular, there are a large number of realist painters active in France, which makes it easier for the military and police to arrest them.

There is also a joke here. The Paris police chief heard that there was a great painter named Picasso.

He specially invited Picasso and asked him to draw a portrait of the suspect based on the appearance provided by the witness.

Mr. Picasso has lived up to the great trust of the police chief. As a well-known painter, it is natural for him to do such a small thing as sketching.

With a few strokes, the outline of the character was outlined. In three to five minutes, a portrait was completed.

However, when the police arrested people based on Mr. Picasso's portrait, they arrested more than a thousand people.

Finally, the police chief had to invite Mr. Picasso back.

However, such a small episode did not delay the general manhunt. The University of Paris was in trouble. In addition to the professors who escaped, not even the president and ordinary employees were left in jail.

Regardless of whether you are involved or not, we should arrest you first.

As for the crime, the trial will eventually come out slowly.

The most unlucky ones were the girls who were performing in the countryside. They were performing in the countryside when the incident happened, and there was no time to notify them to run away.

As a result, everyone who survived was arrested!

Fortunately, most of these girls' families were either rich or noble. Some of them went to Murat directly to plead for mercy, and some asked others to send gifts to Murat.

Others simply bribe the jailer to release them.

Anyway, the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea and each showing their abilities. Anyway, just fish the person out.

In the end, only a few civilians' daughters were left and were imprisoned in prison to hold up jars.

Murat was so ruthless this time that he wanted to wipe the entire University of Paris off the map. The soldiers understood the superior's intention and rushed into the school as if they were ransacking a home.

The library was burned down and almost all the windows were broken. Even the tables and chairs in the school were transported back to the military camp by truck.

Anyway, this university will be gone from now on, so it will be useless to have so many desks, chairs and benches.

As for catching people, it's more like catching animals. You catch one, tie it with a rope and string it together, and let some of them go without money.

If you don't have enough money, a few military officers will come and form a so-called court.

There was no such thing as a defense. After the verdict was pronounced, they were taken to the banks of the Seine, lined up and shot.

Overnight, hundreds of floating corpses were found floating in the Seine River. The suppression methods were brutal and could be described as iron-blooded.

Murat did not expect that there was a camera taking pictures of the corpses floating and sinking in the Seine.

The photographer even captured the moment when the bullet hit the chest and blood burst out when the student was shot.

These photos were delivered to London at noon the next day.

The chaos in Paris has lasted for more than two months, and almost all the eyes of the world are on Paris.

The telegraph office was bombed and telegrams could not be sent back. Newspaper offices in various countries were dying of panic!

At this moment, the Times dropped a bombshell.

Corpses were floating on the Seine River, and students were still shouting slogans before being executed. They were hit by bullets and their flesh and blood were everywhere.

Every photo shocks people's eyes and affects everyone's nerves.

The Times was carried by the Ming Dynasty's airship and spread to every major city in Europe in two days.

From Berlin to Vienna, from Oslo to Madrid, the whole of Europe was shocked. No one thought that the French government would suppress the protesting students like this.

Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck first stood up to denounce the actions of the French, calling them warlords and bandits.

Murat's name has been equated with that of the butcher, and the reputation of the Napoleonic government can be said to be as bad as 800 miles away.

Before the European powers expressed their opinions, the Ming Empire, thousands of miles away, was the first to roar.

Zheng Sen, who evacuated to London, held a press conference in London to express the Ming Dynasty's voice specifically about what happened in Paris.

"The atrocities that occurred in Paris were heinous and a serious violation of human rights. As the most powerful empire in the world, the Ming Empire firmly opposed such atrocities.

The Ming Empire's sanctions against the French government were as follows:

First, the Ming Empire will freeze all assets of the French government in the Ming Dynasty, including movable and immovable properties, as well as deposits in the Ming Empire Bank.

Second, the Ming Empire will recall its envoy to Paris and expel all French diplomats in the Ming Dynasty (including the vassal states of the Ming Empire).

Third, the Ming Empire proposed an arms embargo on France. All weapons and equipment will no longer be sold to the French government.

At the same time, all arms contracts signed with the French government were torn up.

Fourth, impose trade sanctions on the French Empire. All trading houses in the Ming Empire are not allowed to hire French people.

All trading houses and traders in the Ming Empire were not allowed to import French goods.

Fifth, stop all academic exchanges between Ming Dynasty and France!

sixth,……!"

Zheng Sen announced ten bans in one breath, which surprised all European countries.

No one expected that Ming Dynasty would issue such a strict ban. Moreover, the severity of these bans surprised everyone.

Apart from anything else, if the Ming Dynasty did not import French goods or employ French people, this alone would cost them their lives.

Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty is a major trading country in the world today. At the same time, because of the light tax policy of the Ming government, the Ming Empire is the richest country in the world.

A market of 300 million people is a huge cake for every emerging country in the world.

As long as you find a way to export your country's goods to the Ming Dynasty, you will earn nothing but Ming Dynasty silver coins.

But now, France has been kicked out by Ming Dynasty.

This will have a fatal blow to the French economy.

Not to mention, an arms embargo is imposed on France.

Everyone knows that the weapons of the Ming Empire are the most advanced in the world.

The French used to rely on the Ming Dynasty to provide weapons to be able to run rampant in Europe. Now that the Ming Dynasty's weapons are cut off, what will the French do next?

The most terrible thing is that Ming Dynasty seems to have suddenly opened the door to export weapons. Weapons that were not sold much before are now sold all at once.

From rifle grenades to rocket launchers and howitzers. From torpedo boats to giant battleships.

Anyway, as long as you can afford it, you can have airships in the sky, cannons on the ground, or battleships in the sea.
