Chapter 216 Does he still want a face?
Just when Zhu Jinsong was having a headache because of these messy things, the painting style of Little Broken Ball gradually became magical.
As we all know, England and France fought a Hundred Years' War, a Thirty Years' War, a War of Spanish Succession, a War of Austrian Succession, and a War of the Silly Thief and the Eagle. Starting from 1337, England and France
They have always looked at each other with displeasure, and both hope that the other will die.
According to common sense, with the relationship between France and England in such a bad state, Louis XVI and George III should be regarded as mortal enemies. There is absolutely no possibility for the two of them to sit together calmly.
However, magical reality never plays out according to common sense.
Louis XVI and George III really sat down calmly, and even drank tea while waiting for the food to be served.
Of course, Louis XVI was a man who did not want to be early without profit, and George III was basically the same, so both of them cherished every minute and every second. Even if they were sitting in a restaurant in Guangzhou drinking tea and waiting for the food to be served, the two of them would
No one has forgotten to study the situation in Europa.
George III was the first to say: "I am going to buy some books in Guangzhou, and by the way, I will invite a few interpreters who know the French language to come back."
Louis XVI glanced at George III and said: "Ignorant people always use chattering words to show their stupidity, but smart people have already taken practical actions."
George III was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Louis XVI shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not interesting, it's just that I have sent people to find interpreters, and then asked these interpreters to help me translate books about governing the country at the entrance of the Central Plains. In addition, I also plan to invite a few
Among them, the chef from the original restaurant returned to France."
George III's face darkened and he said: "Louis, have you forgotten that we are now allies of the five good people who belong to the Xiao Po Guo? Even if you don't want to remind you to buy Ming Dynasty's books, but on the matter of hiring a chef from Zhongyuan Tangkou
, you should have reminded me."
Louis XVI laughed loudly and mocked: "Actually, I didn't expect you to be so stupid that you even need someone to remind you about such a simple thing."
After mocking George III, Louis XVI changed his tone again and said: "But you are right, I will remember to remind you if anything happens in the future."
George III snorted coldly and said: "Then I really thank you."
"You're welcome, who made us the five good people of Little Broken Ball?"
Louis XVI first humbly expressed that you were welcome, then looked at George III and asked: "By the way, you said before that you wanted to find a soft persimmon in Europa. I wonder who you plan to target?"
This time it was George III's turn to tremble.
George III glanced at Louis XVI and said: "What are you anxious about? There are still weak persimmons everywhere. The key is that we must first study who is the richest and who is the easiest to pinch, and then decide on the target - otherwise
, why do you think I invited you to stay in Guangzhou for a few more days?"
Louis XVI thought to himself, "You really think I am someone who doesn't know. As soon as you arrived in Guangzhou, you sent someone to hire an interpreter. Then you bought a lot of Ming Dynasty books. By the way, you also wanted to use a high salary to invite a Ming Dynasty cook."
Come back to England with you.
Why are you still talking about researching which soft persimmon is rich and easy to pinch? You are going to the grave to burn the Times. Are you fooling around?
After some crazy ridicule in his heart, Louis XVI said: "You know, France and the Ming Dynasty are each other's most loyal allies, so before we left Jinan Mansion, I had a private meeting with the Ming Emperor.
meeting."
George III's heart tightened, but his face looked careless. He said casually after saying "Oh, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty invited you to have a meal alone again?"
Louis XVI nodded first, then sighed again and said, "How is it possible that we just had a meal alone?"
Seeing that George III did not continue to ask further questions, Louis XVI inevitably felt a little bored and said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty invited me to have a meal alone and chatted with me alone about the situation in Europa."
Hearing this, George III became even more nervous.
As we all know, if there are idiots in the world, France must be among them. If there are licking dogs in the world, France must be the one who takes the lead in kneeling down.
According to the IQ of Louis XVI, a fool, as long as the Ming Emperor wanted a meal and a few promises, Louis XVI would sell Europa without hesitation.
When he thought that the Ming Emperor had entertained Louis XVI alone but not himself, George III couldn't help but feel jealous - obviously I, Joe, could sell Europa! I am the mother of Louis XVI!
After snorting coldly, George III suppressed his displeasure and asked, "What next?"
Louis XVI sighed and said: "I have to admit that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is indeed the greatest emperor I have ever seen, and he is also the kindest emperor. At the same time, he is also a very charming person.
The emperor."
“After the banquet, he told me how to govern a country well—for example, by easing corvee and paying little tax, by living with the people, by spreading the word, and by doing less construction.”
"Similar to these principles, I have not heard anyone say it before. For example, Grand Bachelor Voltaire, Grand Bachelor Holbach, and Grand Bachelor Derode have all said this before, but the same truth,
It was said by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but it is more convincing than what these great scholars said."
George III felt even more unhappy. He snorted again and said: "I admit that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very good at governing the country, but I don't think you can learn his method of governing the country."
"If nothing else, let's talk about France's deficit. Madam, how do you plan to solve France's two billion franc deficit?"
Louis XVI took a sip of tea and said proudly: "Please note that our current deficit in France is only a billion francs."
"As for how to solve the deficit of more than one billion francs, of course we must follow the method that Qian Deaf Old Dog told us. Otherwise, how can we solve the deficit of more than one billion francs?"
At this point, Louis XVI changed the subject again and said: "Of course, the French treasury deficit problem is easy to solve. What we need to discuss now is not this issue, but the persimmons on the other side of Europa. Which one is softer?
"
Gu Qian/span George III calmly took a sip of tea and said: "Of course it's Portugal - since the Lisbon earthquake, Portugal has been in a state of decline. Last time, the Ming Dynasty slaughtered more than two thousand soldiers and lost Macau. Maria I couldn't help but
Or do you hold your nose and endure it?”
Louis XVI shook his head and said: "If I were you, I would never choose Portugal."
George III was stunned and asked: "Why?"
Louis XVI said: "Portugal owed money to Ming Dynasty. You destroyed Portugal before paying back the money. How to calculate the money owed to Ming Dynasty? You will pay it back for Portugal?"
George III smacked his lips and said, "If that's the case, then if we encounter any crisis in the future, wouldn't it be enough to just owe Ming a sum of money?"
Louis XVI suddenly became even more proud: "Remember what I just said? Ignorant people always use chattering words to show their stupidity, but smart people have already taken practical actions."
"I used France's treasury revenue as a guarantee to borrow one billion dragon yuan, which is 100 million taels of silver, from the Ming Dynasty to purchase Ming Dynasty's muskets and artillery. Before the money is repaid, I would like to take a look.
, who dares to touch a hair of my French hair?"
George III felt even more unhappy.
This is one step slow, step by step, slow until the end, even if you eat shit, you can’t keep up with the heat!
After scolding Louis XVI in his heart, George III said with a dark face: "Then tell me, which one should we pick?"
Louis XVI couldn't help laughing, and he didn't speak until he had laughed enough: "How do I know which persimmon to pick? If I knew, I would have told you - of course, except for us France and you
Except for England and Portugal, which owes money to the Ming Dynasty, the rest are all soft persimmons, you can choose any one."
George III glanced at Louis XVI and sneered: "Then do you dare to pinch the Vatican?"
Louis XVI's laughter stopped abruptly - hell, pinching the Vatican is easy, but the question is who can bear the consequences?
Louis XVI glared at George III fiercely and said: "As long as you dare to pinch, then I dare to pinch. There must be nothing that Paul I would not dare to pinch!"
King George III snorted coldly and said: "Okay, stop bragging a little bit. It's still bragging. People will know that you are bragging when you brag about it. There is no technical content at all.
"
"Let me tell you, we might as well target Spain. Anyway, Spain has a lot of colonies. As long as Spain cedes some colonies and joins the small pot, this matter will be over. How about that?"
Louis XVI said: "No, unless you want to fight another Spanish Succession War."
In 1700, Carlos II died, and his sister Maria Theresa and Philippe, the grandson of French King Louis XIV, succeeded to the throne (Felipe V). From then on, the Spanish throne was transferred from the Austrian Habsburg family to the French Bourbons.
In order to compete for the Spanish throne, France and Austria (supported by Britain and the Netherlands) started a war of Spanish succession, and signed the Peace of Utrecht in 1713.
In other words, Spain and France are now related. If George III wants to attack Spain, Louis XVI, who is also a member of the Bourbon family, will definitely not agree.
After thinking about it, Louis XVI simply suggested: "We might as well target Austria under the rule of the Habsburg family, or in other words, target the Habsburg family."
George III felt fine.
Anyway, the Habsburg family has nothing to do with England. The strength of the Habsburg family at this time was not very good. The Holy Roman Empire ruled by the Habsburg family was neither Rome nor an empire. Although the Kingdom of Austria
There is still a bit of a fight, but if England and France join forces to defeat Austria, why don't they give him the shit?
Just thinking of the word shit made George III inevitably feel a little uncomfortable - George II died of excessive force during defecation.
After thinking about it, George III said to Louis XVI: "Set your target on Austria, and don't go after the Habsburg family. Although the strength of the Habsburg family has weakened now, we are here for
To establish power, we must fight quickly and end it quickly, and we cannot drag the entire Europe into the flames of war."
After Louis XVI nodded in agreement, George III asked again: "By the way, as for Paul I, should you send someone to inform him, or should I send someone to inform him?"
Louis XVI laughed loudly and asked: "Why should Paul I be notified?"
Seeing the puzzled look on George III's face, Louis XVI slowly explained: "There are five good people in Little Po Guo, and among these five good people, there are also strong and weak ones. Do you admit this?"
George III nodded and said: "Of course, the Ming Dynasty is the strongest, followed by our England and your France, followed by the furry bear, and finally the weakest of the five good people, the stupid thief eagle."
Louis XVI hummed and said: "So, the current situation is that Ming Dynasty has secured the first chair, and our two families are competing for the second chair. If Paul I is notified, wouldn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty has already secured the first chair?"
Give him a chance? If they were stronger, would he still be willing to sit on the fourth chair?"
Using himself to judge others, Louis XVI felt that if he became stronger, he would definitely not be willing to have someone sitting in front of him. Therefore, he could not give Paul I a chance to become stronger and let him sit quietly.
The fourth chair is pretty good - if the Ming Emperor hadn't insisted on creating five good men, Louis XVI wouldn't even want to take Paul I to play with him.
George III had no doubts about this. He just frowned and considered it, then looked at Louis XVI and asked: "Well, what reason should we use to attack Austria?"
Louis XVI shook his head and said: "We don't need to attack Austria, as long as we tell what the Habsburg family has done in the newspapers."
"For example, Philip III intermarried with his cousin Margaret, and Carlos II's father intermarried with his cousin Elizabeth, so Carlos II died at the age of only 39..."
"Another example is the current Austrian Emperor Franz I, who married his aunt and uncle, Princess Maria Theresa of Sicily."
"So, we don't need to do anything, we just need to publish these things in the newspaper and laugh at them for pure blood, huh?"
"If he can still endure this, then let's ask him in the newspaper: I, Louis XVI, am the King of France, and you, George III, are the King of England. We are all just kings, but he, Franz I, dares to claim to be
Emperor? Does he still want face?"
