- Whether the Duke of Orleans wants it or not, likes it or not.
He has now become a prisoner and has no control over what happens below.
Gaston, who had become a waste and regained consciousness, was brought to him by the genetic soldiers. The Duke of Orleans completely collapsed and burst into tears.
"It's a pity that even if you shed crocodile tears now, it's too late.
In the end, Gaston II was shot in the head by little Louis XIII with a firecracker right in front of his eyes.
Next, the Duke of Orleans was also executed by d'Artagnan.
At this point, the Duke of Orleans' confident rebellion has been completely resolved.
Externally, Mary claimed that the Duke of Orleans died in a duel. Those nobles who were invited by the Duke of Orleans to participate in the duel, because of the death of the Duke of Orleans in the duel, attacked and broke the rules of the duel.
And then, there was a fight with the crown prince and his entourage in America.
Basically all the nobles died in the fire, and the American crown prince and his party also suffered a lot of casualties.
Mary felt extremely sorry for this.
And just when Mary released the news, Zhao Hongyu had already negotiated the issue of Spain with Mary, boarded the Sea King and left Marseille for Alexandria.
It can be said that Zhao Hongyu was blamed for the death of the Duke of Orleans.
The benefits basically go to Mary.
¡°But Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t care about this, after all, he doesn¡¯t have much interest in France.
Therefore, it doesn¡¯t matter if you take the blame.
As long as France can attack Spain as promised, there is no harm in taking the blame.
Just when Zhao Hongyu was heading to Alexandria in Egypt, Mary was in France with lightning speed, sending her cronies to begin to quickly attribute the territories of the Duke of Orleans and other nobles to the royal family.
Because the Duke of Orleans and Gaston had already died in the "Duel of Fire", and all the nobles who followed the Duke of Orleans also died.
In this situation. As a result, Mary's actions did not encounter any obstruction or trouble.
Everything went very smoothly.
So far, in a short period of time, the strength of the French royal family has skyrocketed.
Mary controlled two-thirds of the actual territory of France, and basically the remaining opponents suppressed their original opposition.
And this time, only the French royal family has benefited the most.
Mary can be regarded as laying a good foundation for little Louis.
¡°When he ascends the throne in the future, there will be a lot less trouble.
¡°At the very least, someone like the Duke of Orleans. It no longer exists.
The royal family¡¯s voice has also become much greater, and many policies can be effectively implemented in local areas without being restrained by the nobles.
After all, the royal family now controls two-thirds of the land in France. If there is still that blind nobleman who continues to oppose Mary's governing philosophy, Mary will immediately send troops to suppress it without any doubt.
The nobles are not stupid. Seeing the strength of the royal family represented by Mary, how could they jump out to oppose her at such a time.
So, Marie and little Louis are living now. It's a comfortable experience.
This has never happened before.
Of course, Mary did not forget her secret agreement with Zhao Hongyu. After Zhao Hongyu left and took control of the territory of the Duke of Orleans and the nobles who followed him, she immediately started a round of conscription.
As for the funding for conscription. She sent someone to Lisbon to receive it from the consul of the Concession of the Song Empire in America.
One and a half million silver livres is enough for her to command 50,000 soldiers and pay them for a year.
And Zhao Hongyu also promised to provide food subsidies. This is equivalent to saying that France does not have to bear the burden of the 50,000 soldiers at all.
How could Mary refuse such a good thing?
Moreover. These 50,000 soldiers are sent to the battlefield to fight several battles. As long as they can survive, they will be experienced veterans.
Such veterans are much more valuable than soldiers with no combat experience.
After the war is over, these soldiers can select the best among them and serve as a private army in the territory directly under the royal family.
Therefore, the cooperation with Zhao Hongyu has no harm at all.
The French¡¯s actions attracted the attention of surrounding countries.
Spain, which borders France, and the Holy Roman Empire have all expressed their cautious attitude towards French conscription.
After all, Spain is now trapped in the war in the Netherlands and cannot escape. Although the Holy Roman Empire seems powerful, it is actually the same as the Spanish Empire.
At the same time, France seemed to support the Dutch in the Dutch War.
Therefore, France¡¯s sudden military expansion had to frighten them.
In order to deal with the threat of French military expansion, there has been no movement. The Holy Roman Empire, which only let the Spanish deal with the Protestant coalition, finally eliminated the 80,000-strong army and entered Bavaria.
Bavaria was originally a Germanic territory, which was the territory of the future empire.
But in this era, it was still the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.
Of course, if nothing happens, the huge Holy Roman Empire will fall apart after the Thirty Years War. In turn, the Germanic region was divided into numerous vassal states.
¡°However, this is still something that will happen more than twenty years later.
?????????The Holy Roman Empire has always made good plans to let the Spaniards rush in to deal with the Protestant princes.
"But he himself has never done anything, and he has also made war fortune.
The poor Spaniards, with the reputation of being the protectors of Christianity, had to fight for the Vatican and consume the empire's weakening constitution.
"It's a pity that the Holy Roman Empire never expected that the French would actually start to take action now.
Originally, before the war in the Netherlands began, the Holy Roman Empire sent people to France to threaten France not to join the Protestant coalition.
If the French support the Protestant princes, France will face a double attack from Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.
At the same time, envoys who were very familiar with the domestic situation in France continued to visit the Archduke of Orleans and Mary's opponents.
Secretly, God knows what they talked about.
In short, Mary and France did not participate in the Thirty Years' War.
The most common thing is that the royal family provides military expenses to the Protestant coalition forces through secret channels.
but. This is the best the French can do.
Today the situation is completely different.
Mary took control of the situation in France, and the opponents and careerists had disappeared.
It can be said that the entire French Marie policy can be implemented normally, and there is nothing to worry about now.
Coupled with the military expenditure provided by Zhao Hongyu, Mary can completely forget about the earlier threat from the Holy Roman Empire.
Therefore, Mary¡¯s conscription action made the Holy Roman Empire very nervous.
They kept sending people to France to find out the truth, and hypocritically sent people to congratulate Mary for clearing domestic political obstacles.
Of course, these are the messengers of the Holy Roman Empire who bear the name of the Holy Roman Empire. He also secretly spread rumors against Mary.
Why did the Grand Guild of Orleans die in a duel?
Where are the witnesses?
Why did the nobles who went to watch the battle also die in this duel?
Why did Queen Marie seize the territory of the Duke of Orleans and other nobles after the duel?
Questions one after another began to circulate among the aristocratic circles in France.
However, the situation in France is now completely under Mary's control. It doesn't matter if there are rumors. The main thing these days is whether the fist is big enough.
As long as your fist is big enough, your strength is strong enough.
Even if there are countless rumors circulating, it will not have any impact.
but. Mary no longer had any good impressions of these officials of the Holy Roman Empire who came from the Vatican Church.
At the same time, in view of their disgusting behavior, Mary decided that she must give them some color. Then deal with the Spanish, the best thugs in the Holy Roman Empire. That's the best way.
As long as Zhao Hong planned to kill the Spanish Empire and carve up its territory.
When the time comes, the expression on the face of the puppet emperor of the Holy Roman Empire will definitely be very nice.
And the actual masterminds behind the scenes are those in the Vatican. The facial expressions must also be very exciting.
Of course, if Spain is destroyed and divided, the Vatican will definitely jump out and say that it does not recognize it.
but. As long as it's a fait accompli, there's no point in opposing it, right?
For the VaticanThese people always like to point fingers at other countries, or are secretly controlling them. Mary has always hated them.
They want to interfere in government affairs in every country, which is very conflict with the royal power.
And every time a king ascends the throne and is crowned, the Vatican will jump out and make irresponsible remarks.
You said that the king¡¯s coronation has nothing to do with you.
In her heart, Mary has always been very unhappy about this.
What kind of bullshit divine right of kings, you can¡¯t possibly represent God.
Mary is very clear about the matter in the Vatican.
Especially for the lifestyle of those at the top, Mary was even more disdainful.
Because the style of those people is really terrible.
But it is this kind of person who calls himself "Lord" and calls himself "God" as God's earthly spokesperson on the European continent.
Little Louis also felt his mother¡¯s attitude towards the church and the Vatican.
A seed was planted in his little heart.
This is why in the history of the future, little Louis XIII has always taken pleasure in teasing the Vatican's senior officials, making those in the Vatican extremely happy.
Historically, Louis XIII had never been interested in the church.
And when he ascended the throne, he didn¡¯t ask anyone from the church to come to the throne at all. He crowned himself.
This is like a slap in the face of the people in the church.
For this reason, the church announced that it would not recognize the identity of Louis XIII.
Of course, Louis XIII also retaliated, and through a series of wars, the armies under the control of the church were beaten to pieces.
In the end, the church could only hold its nose and admit defeat.
Of course, this was the original historical trajectory in the future.
But now that Zhao Hongyu exists, it is unclear whether history will continue like this. (To be continued.) - Didn't finish reading?
