- After Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie chatted about the situation on the European continent, they immediately turned the topic back to the visit of little Louis XIII.
"I don't plan to contact little Louis XIII anymore. He is not the emperor of France, and the government is still controlled by Mary. So there is no need for me to see him. You can just come and receive him."
Zhao Hongyu said to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded: "Okay!" Zhang Tie, who agreed, asked: "But I guess these little Louis XIII must have some requests from him when they come here. As your Highness guessed, maybe he will If you ask us for weapons, food and financial assistance, how much authority do I have over this matter?"
Yes, Zhang Tie is right to ask this question.
Since Zhao Hongyu has allowed him to come into contact with little Louis XIII, it is very likely that he will encounter such a thing.
If little Louis XIII really proposed this, Zhang Tie would need some authority.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and said: "You have the right to handle it independently, and you can handle the materials, weapons and funds. But I want to remind you, don't give too much, come little by little. I don't want to see Portugal France and France defeated the church, but they did not want them to be defeated. The best outcome would be a stalemate in which both sides would suffer losses, just like in the Netherlands."
When Zhao Hongyu said this, there was still something Zhang Tie didn¡¯t understand.
He smiled evilly and said to Zhao Hongyu: "I understand, Your Highness. Don't worry, it's only right to keep it for the Europeans to fight for a few years and buy us some development time."
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, these Europeans can't be left idle. As long as they are idle, they may cause us some trouble. Let them fight. The more severe they are, the more serious they will be to us." The less they pay attention to it. When the time is right, we can also help the church coalition. After all, it wouldn't be a good thing if they were defeated, right?"
Zhao Hongyu just wants chaos in Europe.
Zhang Tie has the same view as him on this point.
"Your Highness, what should we do with our volunteers in France?"
Zhang Tie thought of the volunteers sent there in the early stage. Have to ask.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a moment and then said: "After all, we have already dispatched the troops, and it is not easy to withdraw them now. In addition, the church states have begun to reorganize their armies and are about to launch an attack. If we withdraw the volunteers at this time, it will What do the French think? So, we can¡¯t withdraw, but we can¡¯t increase our troops either.¡±
He raised his hand and stroked his smooth chin, while thinking about how to deal with it in his mind.
To be honest, it is not in the interests of the empire to help the French and the Church Alliance fight.
The reason why volunteers were dispatched earlier to help France fight. That's because the French have no way of fighting on two fronts.
In order to ensure that Spain can be killed and the Caribbean can be easily occupied by the empire, the empire must ensure that the Holy Roman Empire cannot affect France.
But now the Caribbean has become the territory of the empire, and the French and Portuguese have also defeated the Spanish and occupied their capital. Even the Spanish royal family has fled without news.
Therefore, it would not be in the interests of the empire for the volunteers to continue to help the French fight.
But the problem is, at this juncture. It would also be unwise to withdraw our troops.
This will make the French very unhappy.
When the time comes, it will cause a backlash from the French, and it will be bad if something unexpected happens.
So, on the issue of volunteers. Zhao Hongyu had a headache.
Zhang Tie looked at Zhao Hongyu's face, and then said: "Your Highness, if you ask me, let's withdraw the volunteers to the Marseille Concession first. It's easy to find an excuse. Just rest and recuperate. The French also have to make them suffer. That's right, otherwise they wouldn't know our importance. Don't you think it was a bit too easy for them to defeat the Spaniards?"
"If it weren't for the volunteers who withstood the attack of the Holy Roman Empire of 50,000 to 60,000 people, it would not have been easy for the French to capture Madrid."
Zhang Tie¡¯s reminder moved Zhao Hongyu¡¯s heart.
Yes, the French defeated the Spanish. They won this war too easily.
So the French must be a little complacent.
They will think that this is because of their strong combat power, and they will never think that America is involved in this.
"Don't look at the fact that little Louis XIII is now asking for money and weapons and supplies. I think they will not consider such a situation at all.
Maybe, it really should be like Zhang Tie said?In this way, the French should know how powerful they are.
"But is there any danger in this? If the French are suddenly defeated by the church coalition, that would be a bit bad."
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t dare to think too highly of the French¡¯s combat effectiveness.
Although from the era of Louis XIII to the era of Napoleon, the French have always been a powerful country on the European continent.
But now the butterfly effect has appeared, and Zhao Hongyu can¡¯t guarantee that the French will be as powerful as they were in history, right?
¡°What if¡if there is any such thing as this, Zhao Hongyu is really not sure.
When Zhao Hongyu told Zhang Tie what he was worried about, Zhang Tie smiled and said to Zhao Hongyu nonchalantly: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about these problems at all. The French are not that bad. Besides, they have obtained funds. Finally, you can also hire large numbers of mercenaries. You must know that the mercenaries in small places near Switzerland will work for you as long as they have money, and their combat effectiveness is very impressive."
"We can completely propose that the French hire mercenaries to replace the volunteers, and at the same time remove the volunteers to rest and recuperate. The French will not refuse the supplies we provide."
Zhao Hongyu thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case, so he nodded and agreed to Zhang Tie's proposal.
"Well, when you meet little Louis XIII, you can talk to him about European issues when the time comes." Zhang Hongyu said to Zhang Tiedao. Zhang Tie responded, and then asked Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, since Louis XIII may bring up the matter of increasing aid, we can't always provide them with loans. This time, I even estimate that the amount of the loan required is very huge. So do we need them to put up some collateral?¡±
Zhang Tie, who is in charge of the empire¡¯s economy, has been thinking about this issue for a long time.
for him. It doesn't matter if we provide loans to the French, but the French always have to provide some collateral.
The empire is not a charity. If you ask for a loan, it will give you money.
What should I do if I can¡¯t afford it in the future?
With the earlier loan, France gave up a piece of land in Marseille as a concession.
Now, little Louis XIII is about to visit, and he will definitely need another loan.
¡°It¡¯s just, what kind of collateral will the French take out this time?
At this time, France did not have that many colonies.
Originally there was Quebec, but it was captured by the empire by force.
so. Now France has no collateral at all.
This is also the reason why Zhang Tie reminded Zhao Hongyu after thinking about it.
But since Europe still needs the French to fight wars with the ecclesiastical vassal states, the empire really has no way to refuse the loan request that the French may make.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhang Tie felt that he still had to see what His Highness¡¯s thoughts were.
Because he really has no right to make the decision on something like this.
Like Wang Shan and Song Hu, he does not think that he can make decisions on many things just because he is Zhao Hongyu's confidant.
It¡¯s okay if Zhao Hongyu is not there, but if Zhao Hongyu is here, you must listen to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s opinion.
Except for loyalty. Of course, there are also reasons why they have corrected themselves.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said: "They must have collateral. Who will give them a loan without collateral? I'm not a fool. But you need to communicate with the intelligence department. See what the French are getting. The things you get are also used to trick little Louis XIII, just like you said, we are not a charity organization."
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, Zhang Tie felt confident.
He nodded and said to Zhao Hongyu: "Okay, Your Highness. Then I understand."
"Now that the warships at the shipyard have been launched, I don't want to delay any more. We will be preparing to leave in the next few days. The trip to the East and the population plan will be implemented immediately. The Caribbean has been incorporated into the empire's territory , we are about to occupy the land of South America, which requires a large population to completely occupy and develop."
Zhao Hongyu sighed and said to Zhang Tiedao.
Zhang Tie nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, with the integration of Central America into the empire, we can now also focus on South America. By then, the entire American continent will belong to us, but we are seriously underpopulated, which is very troublesome. Something about it.¡±
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:At the moment there is no way to solve it, we can only do it step by step.
When Zhao Hongyu¡¯s administrative level is upgraded, their authority will be relatively improved.
At that time, with the improvement and expansion of authority, the growth of the population will accelerate.
After chatting with Zhang Tie for a while, Zhang Tie left Zhao Hongyu.
And Zhao Hongyu also left the office and went to find Emma and Sara.
After finding Emma and Sarah, Zhao Hongyu informed them that they would leave for the East within a few days.
Sarah, who has always longed for the East, was very excited about this, but Emma was not so excited.
And of course Wang Shan also knew this news.
As Wang Shan, who is about to follow Zhao Hongyu and head to the East via South America, will temporarily stay on the west coast to build a temporary base, he must be notified.
Recently, Wang Shan has been spending time with the active and enthusiastic little girl Annaisi.
Because of the little girl¡¯s active pursuit, Wang Shan has now completely fallen.
After all, Youdao is about men chasing women, but women chasing men is not.
Faced with the passionate pursuit of the cute and beautiful French girl, Wang Shan cannot be so cold-blooded.
During the interaction, Wang Shan was melted little by little.
His relationship with Anais continued to heat up, and they got engaged a few days ago.
Wang Shan always thought that being engaged to a little Lolita was a shame, but he didn't know that this kind of thing was already very common in Manhattan.
Think about the ramen shop owner in the Port of Manhattan. He married three Indian girls. He is nothing here.
The empire needs people!
Therefore, early marriage and early childbearing have become a national policy.
??Besides, this era is not modern, so some modern legal concepts are not suitable.
At the same time, it is impossible for French girls and Indians to understand why they cannot get married and have children early.
The engagement was very lively at that time, and Wang Shan had an idea.
The ones who are happiest about this are of course the women of the Samuel family.
After all, Wang Shan¡¯s status is very high in the empire, and he is Zhao Hongyu¡¯s confidant.
¡° Anais being able to be with Wang Shan will be of great benefit to their entire family and Sara.
Regarding the marriage between Wang Shan and Anais, Black Bear, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law, who has undergone some transformation, also thought about some things.
He secretly found Emma, ??hoping that Emma could mention it to Wang Shan and have the opportunity to marry a girl from Mohawk in the future.
It has to be said that black bears are very sensitive in one aspect.
His idea was also supported by Emma¡¯s mother.
However, Emma didn¡¯t take it seriously at all, she just agreed casually.
But looking back, she had long forgotten.
As for whether you will think of it in the future, only God knows.
After getting engaged, Wang Shan and Anais lived together openly.
In the city of Manhattan, Wangshan originally had a good villa residence.
And Anais also became Wang Shan¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
Regarding the fact that Wang Shan found a French fianc¨¦e and was chased after her, Zhang Tie, Song Hu and Professor Liu all made a good-natured joke about it.
Professor Liu, a disrespectful old man, actually encouraged Wang Shan to say that he was bringing honor to the Chinese people.
Looking at the letters of blessing from Professor Song Hu and Professor Liu, Wang Shan blushed.
But Wang Shan was not angry because he knew that this was just a friendly joke made by his brothers and elders.
Because Zhang Tie is here in Manhattan, when he sees Wang Shan, he can't help but make fun of him.
When the news that Zhao Hongyu decided to set off in the near future was reported to Wang Shan by the Imperial Guard soldiers, Anais, who was with Wang Shannui, showed a very reluctant look.
Because traveling far away in this era is not as convenient as coming back in later generations.
Usually, for a trip to the East like this, it is normal to go back and forth for four or five years.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the little girl would be so reluctant to leave when she heard that her lover was leaving in the near future.
Seeing his fianc¨¦e so reluctant to leave, Wang Shan felt a little sad.
Crossed that roadKankan, there is no need for Wang Shan to be depressed on purpose.
He took Anais¡¯ little hand distressedly and said softly: ¡°How about I go talk to His Highness and you go with me. I know you can¡¯t let me go, but I can¡¯t let you go either.¡±
After experiencing certain tastes, Wang Shan became a bit 'depraved'. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to read.) - Didn't finish reading?
